Strange behavior in male when female is around..

MAD drawing with dashes skills yo.

Oooohh yaaaa I should go pro:D. Do you know what I mean when he does that thing with his head though? I think he was doing it to impress my girl, she seems VERY interested in him cuz she cuddles with him, lays on him, and follows him lol.

I dont know of any male mating behavior displays besides tickling the female with his spurs when he's trying to get up on it. Its interesting though that he does that. And she follows him thats pretty cool. I should take my BPs out and see if they exhibit the same behavior.

Ya it seems like this is a cool experiment to do:). When I put my BPs together I watched closely on their behaviors because my female hasn't been up close with another snake of her kind in a year and I'm not even sure if the male has been up close with a BP that is older than him and even up close to a BP at all. When I got him he was in his own enclosure, away from other snakes. I purchased (or I guess rescued) him at the Arizona Herpetological Society and I gotta say that place is the most amazing place I've ever been to. What shocked me the most was seeing a huge all white Rattlesnake. Man that thing was a beast lol.

Weird. My BPs all hang together after they get checked out and during cleaning and weighing days. I have a weirdo little 300gm het albino that loves to weave herself in and out of this one big breeder female. She'll only do it to her and she'll go over under and around her everytime. :shrug:

Lol that seems kinda strange. Maybe she looks up to that female? It's possible haha. My female like puts her head underneath my male's body and will also just go underneath him and around him to cuddle or something. I think it's kind of cute though because they both will sit there and cuddle:)

Sounds like you got yourself the care bear BPs. Hugs and kisses, love and hearts and all that mushy stuff.

Haha I guess I do. I just can't wait until I mate them in 6months-1 year. I think I'm going to try to breed next Spring if my female gets about 1500 grams. I don't know how much she weighs at the moment because I keep forgetting to purchase a gram scale. Where could I get one and how much would a decent one cost me?

I bought mine for 13 bucks or so on eBay that reads up to 11 lbs. Its kinda cheapo and the instructions for it suck, but it works well for me and a couple of other people on here.
Here's the thread. Me and mrshawt stand by them.

That seems like it would be a great scale. Does it work pretty well?
