AXE for ball pythons???
I always wonder if it would be possible/feasible to recreate the smell of snake sex to stimulate breeding in ball pythons. Thoughts?

Re: AXE for ball pythons???
Using damp sheds from males and females can sometimes spur reluctant breeders into action. If you have animals that are breeding well, save their sheds! I like to mist the sheds slightly so that they are a little "stinky" and put them into a cage with a pair that isn't doing much breeding wise. I'll try male sheds and female sheds and usually see good results with this method.
and
Swap the bedding from a female that is breeding with a female that isn't. This one is a lot like the shed trick above, but again, do what you have to do in order to get those pairs locked up! I like to think that the smell of "snake sex" from the bedding of the female that was breeding gets the reluctant breeder to wake up and "smell" the roses.

I've heard somewhere that you can take some substrate from a tub that had a couple of snakes doin the deed in, it will get the other snakes in the mood

Re: AXE for ball pythons???
That is the scent. I am wondering about a method that would be a liquid form that could be misted in the enclosure. For those who do not have previous breeding sheds/bedding or those who do want to spread that stuff around. Just a thought.
Thank you for the inputs thus far

Re: AXE for ball pythons???
if you came up with something like that, that was proven to work, you definitely wouldn't have a hard time selling it! I know this doesn't help ya out much, but yeah. maybe try putting some shed skins and some bedding of sucessful lockups in a jar of water?? spray a la snake sex soup?

Lol..."snake sex soup" sounds pretty gross :eek:
I figured it would be something that has already been looked into. If this was feasible then I think it would sell well. I would certainly drop some coin in it for convenience/sanitary reasons alone.
