Do females ever EAT males?

Does the female have any signs of, well, having swallowed another snake?

I would bet money that he escaped. How much smaller was the male than she?

I agree that the cannibalism link is uncalled for as this sounds like a breeding-purposes only housing arrangement.

Do you have any type of decorations, rocks or hides in the tank? A lot of these will be hollow and have a small hole in them somewhere that the snake can cram itself into. There have been a few cases of that happening on here and I've had it happen myself.

Good luck in finding him!

My fault, and the only part of the thread that I missed. It's okay to use my name ;)

That's a great question. I have my breeders in a rack so I didn't even consider tank decor....

Lol. Not trying to call you out Leah. I was posting that from my phone and once I hit reply I couldn't see or remember who posted the link...

The link leah posted has pics of what a snake looks like if it ate another snake. I dont really think it was "innapropriate" lol

I thought the link was kinda neat. Sometimes people don't know, and an easy link like that saves a long drawn out rehashing of the info.

Hope you find your male, and not in your gal's tummy.

Definitely possible, but I think in most cases a mature male would be an ENORMOUS meal for almost any female and you would definitely know if she ate him.

I didn't think it was inappropriate, I just wasn't expecting that lol But it definitely shows you what to look for if you suspect one snake at the other!

I hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question, but, if the female was curled up, did you look under her?
