Slow season?

    Breeding one male to two different females. Both females have sought the cold side for about a week, if I remember right. Is this done while they are building? It was right after I started introducing my males if that helps. I haven't been able to feel any follicles and don't have an ultrasound, so no idea what is going on there.

    Two of the times that I've put my male pastel in with my female cinnamon one (or both of them) has within a day put out a good amount of what I believe are urates and the lovely smelling yellow liquid that goes with it. Does this sound like scenting, them not getting along, natural bowel movements or something else entirely?

    I palpated a few tonight and they are progressing better than expected. A few already have close to golf ball size follicles.:gj: I am expecting a few ovys March/April if all goes right.

    I use big bowls for females so they can soak!

    I do the same thing Jon. When I see a soaking snake start glowing I know an OV is on the way.

    To the OP, it's still real early, still lots of time for ovulation and breeding. I have had clutched laid as late as November and as early as January. Don't look at the calendar, look at the snakes, they have much more info. Be patient, all good things come to those who wait;)

    We are ahead of where we were last year at this time. Our females are ovulatiing around 1-2 months earlier this year.

    I've heard complaints locally (Phoenix) about things seeming slow this year, but it's my first attempt so I can't really judge.

    I'm getting very strong breeding this year, especially the last few weeks.

    Nice! I like hearing good news like that. Things seem to be happening for me this week, but I feel like it's too early to be certain.
