So I bought this guy in October so I could have another breeder male for this season. I started pairing him up in November, I put him in with a pastel male and a mojave male at different times with a female to try and entice him into breeding. I had absolutely no luck getting him to lock up with a female. I thought it was because he was pretty fat for a male, 1,600 grams so I didn't worry about him not eating. Then tonight I started questioning his sex...
Here he was back in October, I didn't pay much for him, he was an "unproven" breeder male. I couldn't pop him as male, but I'm not that good at popping adults and since I didn't pay much for him I really didn't think I would have to worry about him being a female.
And tonight, when I opened his tub to see he wasn't breeding, as usual. I was really frustrated with him, then noticed his head glow...
Checked him over, noticed his belly
Looks pretty weird for a snake that hasn't ate since October
What I believe is a tail suck, if this is an ovy starting/ending it's pretty funny because that would mean my first ovy of the year was from my male breeder....
