She is going into shed...

Can i continue introducing her to a male?

With my two girls, I noticed they will not breed while in shed. It could be different from snake to snake, though.

Mine still lock when the female is shedding. But my male doesn't show interest when he himself is in shed.
I guess you can put them together and see how is it first only you decide, it wont bring harm though :gj:

Yes you can still pair them. They may or may not lock but you can pair them. It doesn't hurt anything.

AWESOME! Thanks so much guys!

my female would not lock during shed. a day after she shed I misted her and the male and had a lock within the hour though, just something to try ;)

do your females become very ... still... when they are gravid? She has curled herself up in a ball and does not seem very happy. She still hasnt shed and she isnt moving around very much. she is very cloudy. Temps and humidity are fine. she hasnt been eating when i offer her food. Should i worry? i have a vet checkup scheduled for next saturday...

my big normal girl will bred in shed, it doesnt seem to matter whats shes doing she'll breed, shes been with three males this season, hoping it takes with any of the boys

Any snake that is in shed isnt going to move around alot and will be still and curled up. Mine wont move for a week or longer while in deep shed except maybe to drink some water. As for the cloudy part she's probably just not done getting ready to shed. They will get cloudy then clear up then shed. Mine can take up to 3 weeks to complete a full shed cycle. I dont worry about humidity at all, the water bowl in the tank makes it just right and all of mine have no problems shedding. Give it time, she'll shed. Also I have very rarely had a snake feed while in deep shed, I dont even try until they shed.
