What are the signs that you look for in a male or female that is ready to breed? I know what I have read, but I want to know from people who have seen these snakes in action.
The reason I ask is because my Calico is well over 1500 grams, probably a late '11, but I don't want to pair her if she's going to stop eating... I paired my normal and pinstripe female girls with Butters, and they stopped eating after having a perfect record. Butters' feeding response became more voracious! He shoots out of his tub (just like my calico).
Any tips? Suggestions? Insights?
