You can't force a snake to breed, and there's even less reason for him to try if you are watching constantly. Leave the pair together for three days, give him a break, rinse, repeat. Do NOT put that small male back in with the adult - the size difference is substantial enough that he could be seriously injured in a combat situation.

oh okthank u

It takes time and you may never see the lock:cool:

I haf simialr problems this year... Take a step back and relax. I KNOW ITS HARD. The only thing that can make them breed is themselves give him time. Check tubs once a day for a lock dont open any more than that. Would you want your parents walking in on you trying to do your business!!

Still early in season. I noticed these last 2 years all my males shed within 2 weeks of each other and then are ready!! Dont know if its coincidence or science but something i noticed
