1.2 or 2.1? I don't want the male to be uncomfortable or anything.
Both can be done with 2 males you are taking risks (obviously some may fight) and you need to be ready for double sired clutch.
I prefer doing 1.2 sometimes the male is not always the problem the female is not receptive and this way she can get the idea, or I use sperm plug from another make and smear it on the females back. (Yeah breeding snakes is so glamorous :rofl:)
Paying attention to the weather is something very important too.
Some males may be slow starter but again the season is barely starting many have not even started yet, and some male show no signs, I have a male that is always in his corner when I look and from which I have only witness 1 lock that has sired multiple clutches he is just doing the job when I am not looking.
