Lock?
A month after obtaining these two BP's, (I had a normal adult male, and a 2012 baby female already), I seem to have my first lock with the 2007 Normal female, and 2008 Cinnamon male!
Hard to see well, but they've been in this position for hours, (don't wanna try and move them to see better), and I can just see the Cinnamon male's tail inverted under the normal females tail. Since they've been in this position so long I am assuming there is a lock going on under there. Please check out the pics and see if you agree. This is the first breeding of any species I've accomplished in over 20 years, (like riding a bike I guess), and my first with BP's so I'm pleased. Considering that these snakes went through a major wintertime move a month ago, and are just getting settled is a good omen for things to come, (I hope). I have a young Spider female who will get her chance with this Cinny next winter. Due to the move, and my allowing them to adjust to their new environs, I thought it was getting a little late in the season to pair them up, but since they seemed to be adjusting so well I decided what the heck...give it a shot! I hadn't noticed any outright signs of ovulation from the female, but she had just eaten and shed, so I figured I'd just put them together and see if anything happened......looks like something did!!
The first photo is what I saw first thing this morning when I pulled the tub, they later moved enough for me to get a look at their tails and a few photos. In the first pic the female has her head down at the other end of the tub, while the male was wrapped up as you see him. The second pic is a closeup of the only viewing angle I have of their tails, but considering they've been that way for hours I vote "lock"!!! Photo 3 was all I could see for hours, but photo 2 was late this afternoon. I guess I'll just have to wait and see!
