    Keep breeding during shed???

    The male is in the very first few stages of shedding (pink belly, dull color) along with one of the 2 females he is breeding. The other female is pretty far along with her shed (cloudy eyes, looking blue).

    This is my first year breeding and was wondering if I should keep pairing my male with females if they are in shed?

    I continue to pair during shed...
    from my experiences with it, I have not noticed any negatives.
    I have actually had many locks while either male or female is deep in shed

    Good deal! I noticed a few pics of people with snakes locked up in sheds but I wasn't sure whether this was stressful on the snake or not.

    I don't usually bother pairing up when the male is in shed, not because it's detrimental but because the times that I have done it I've never witnessed a copulation. Females in shed on the other hand tend to get even the stubborn males breeding.
