Swimsuit?? Swimsuit?? We don't need no stinking Swimsuit. :cool:

Hm.. breeding one male to 2 females in the same month..?
I bred my one male to 2 females last season (for eggs now.) I wold rotate; I left him with one girl for about 7-10 days. I then let him rest, gave him a meal in his tub for about a week, and put him with my other girl then. He is only an '05, so I did not want to strain him
He bred both girls and I am incubating their eggs now!

wow thats so cool, thanks for the encouragement. Cant wait till next sept.

My male is an August 06 Lemon Pastel and I started cooling everyone in December, and started placing him with females in late January/early February. I would put him with one female for three days, place him by himself, feed him, then let him rest for three more days, and then he was placed with the second female. He stayed with her for two days, got to rest for a day, got fed, then rested for two to three more days. I rotated him through two females this way until each of them stopped accepting him, and ovulated. I have two clutches in the incubator from him, 13 eggs total, and all are still good. One is due to hatch any day now, and the other is due to hatch late this month.


He never did stop eating during the whole process and would regularly take 2 large mice per feeding(every 6 days). He weighed around 490g at the beginning of the breeding season(not that I recommend breeding a young male, it was just very successful for me and the snake did not stress or go off feed), and Orth is currently 900g and not even a year old. I hope his offspring look just as good as he does :)

so what is in your collection???

sounds mysterious!

we love pics!!!

:D

Yea as long as they are over the 500 gram mark some will breed. So will breed earlier.

Yes, he wasn't very old at all, but he was of a healthy weight, didn't stress during the whole season, nor did he stop eating. If he had stopped eating, I would have removed him and quit cycling him. I should find out what his offspring look like in the next few days :)

It happens more often than you think.

I should add.. the male has to be a good weight before breeding. I would not even think of attempting to breed a male that was not eating regularly. But I am not saying to pump him up fast in order to breed (power-feeding) or to make him look like a stuffed sausage. Svelte.. healthy, sleek male is the goal.
I, like some others, did not cycle. This is my first year of breeding, in earnest, but I have two healthy clutches incubating and all of my breeders are recuperated and healthy. :)
