    That's what I was thinking ;)

    I think we should all do a test with records of when checking and so forth. I didn't think I was the only one who wanted to know..

    I have three males of different ages I can check....one is a late 07, one is three and the other is 8 yeard old....I know they all are producing sperm....would be nice to check different ages to sperm producion as well.....

    I wonder how often it's OK to pop them to check....

    As long as you do it right, I don't see it being an issue popping them frequently.

    What all kinda information are we recording? Age, weight, obviously when they had sperm, how often we checked, and what else?

    That is a good question. Is the Sperm Plug actually used for conception? I to was under the impression that it was a build up of extra or surplus sperm. I have had several viable clutches fathered by my male pastel who I still have yet to find sperm plugs in. I find sperm plugs in the younger males all the time just not him but he keeps producing beautiful babies.

    I have not cooled because I was not going to breed them this year....but I just checked and they all gave plugs.....thats pretty gross...LOL...though I did notice, my old guy (bred last year with offspring)...plug was considerably harder than the youngest

    sperm like any other animals sperm including our own as soon as it comes into contact with oxygen it dies, and the hardening of the sperm with snake results in the sperm plugs, so these sperm plugs are not viable sperm but it does get deposited into the female but usually gets expeled the next time the female deficates.

    Okay... Where did you get that information?

    Because I know for a fact some of that is incorrect.
