Loosing weight...

I started breeding my 2 snakes on 1/22/13 and my female weighed 1613g and the locked up twice that day.

On the 24th my female weighed 1609g

on the 27th weighed 1658g

on the 29th droped all the way to 1548g

Is this normal during breeding for the female to do? She has not ate since 1//15

One of my big girls is like that. She would fluctuate hundreds of grams every week... Then she ovy'd :)! Don't get your hopes up just yet, but that is what happened! :) idk if you have her locking with anyone

I'd double check your weights, unless the female dropped a load or pee'd heavily, it's not really possible to gain and lose that much that fast.

I have her locking with my albino shes 50%het they have locked three times since the 22


I did. I triple checked the weights. with 2 dif bowles.

Not sure that weighing her every 3 days is very beneficial.

you placed the male in with the females 3 times in 8 days? 22 to the 30. breeding season is usually pretty long. slow down a little. he needs time off too. the time he's away from the female is also important. and the weight lost is most likely her taking a dump, which is pretty common for her to do right before a lock. good luck in getting eggs.

Yeah, I've never seen weight go up and down that much in such a short time. I'd say feeding and pooping would have something to do with that.

She hasent ate since 1/15/13 and no poop or pee and I have put them together twice since 1/21/13

Thanx
