    Have you tried flushing the bedding out w/ water or something?
    Like, popping your boys and squirting some water.

    I love paper towels for all of my snakes, especially the breeders.
    I hated my males getting stuff stuck to their junk :O

    ^ I would tend to imagine they did as well, lol! Good info to keep in mind if ever mine get of age/size to breed. Thanks for the thread, op, learned something reading this. Thanks!

    Why not put them on newspaper for the breeding season? Would eliminate the possibilty of substrate getting stuck on/in anything. When they aren't breeding, it shouldn't be as much of an issue.

    I've thought about that, the down side is its not very oder friendly. I used newspaper before but I know a lot of breeders don't use it. Not really my thing, everyone has a preference. I would like to try coconut chips or cypress, just can't find them anywhere. :)

    Though I haven't bred yet, I second this. Paper towels for bedding is SO much easier.

    He's popping on the assumption that if they consummated the pairing there won't be any casts.
    Sorry to hijack - so you're saying if I pop a male and see any residual sperm, that it's unlikely that he's locked recently?

    x3 All of my breeding females are on newspaper to prevent this exact scenario.

    Clean your tubs more often and they won't stink. Odor = excretions or mildew that don't need to be in there anyway. My breeders mess their tubs when they're paired, but then they always get fresh tubs when separated.
