Today is the day I pair my normals!! (3-12-10)

I don't know I'm starting to feel follicles in her. They are kinda small though, I felt about 3-4 of them. I guess Monty really did his business well

Yea tiff at this stage since you just started pairing her, your not feeling follicles just yet.

Hi,

I thought they could develop follicles without mating having taken place?

I know the info about the pairings helping stimulate those follicles to grow but I don't think male attention is needed for the first stage?

Granted I am not exactly up on this stuff but my biggest girl has Huuuuuuuuge follicles now and I only started putting her with any males when I happened to feel follicles by accident while moving her for cage cleaning.

Incidently I popped the male today after taking him out on day three and got sperm plugs yet again so I suspect my lothario is actually more of a layabout.

She has been getting paired since I noticed the follicles in January but the last confirmed lock was with Herman my normal male in June last year from the notes I can find.

This is true with sexually mature females but ive noticed virgins dont develop on their own with out the males stimulation to kick start her.

I just woke up to see my snakes locked! They were coiled perfectly flat on the substrate, and their tails were right in the center pointing a couple inches straight in the AIR!
Sadly I missed the photo of a life time because by the time I got the camera, they had lowered their little show. I seriously wanted to laugh when I saw it.

Alright, Coolio, how have things progressed for you?
My lady is getting very large. Are solid indicators?

She's being hangin' around the cool end lately, so I guess that's a pretty good signs she's building What're the signs that have been goin' down with you?

[mr. s]

Same with me basically. Hanging around the cool end. She seems to be building too. Just the other day I noticed that she is going into shed too! Lets hope this is a pre-lay shed?

What?? You are too lucky. My female seemed to stop in the process, she's now hanging around the cool end. No signs of follicle building either, I tried palpating a couple times and I just couldn't feel anything. I'm going to try to put more weight on her to see if that will help, she was sort of small to begin with.

Good luck with your female, from reading it seems like you've got good signs goin' on!

I can't believe you are breeding normals! Don't you know that it's so wrong!
