I have a couple of girls entering their second winter. One I don't plan to breed this year since she isn't the best eater and is hovering around that 1000-1100g mark and 4' long, maybe next year, and I think she is a bit older than I think, but I'm being conservative with her age. She was 800g when I got her in March this year. But my other girl is a good 1200g empty, 40" long, and is a voracious eater. I was feeding 1 45g rat per week and am just now bumping her up to two for 90g per week of intake. At the rate she's going she should hit that 1500g mark by about Christmas time to end of January. I hope I didn't jinx her eating habits, though any time you go near or open her lid she S's up ready for a food strike, even a couple hours after being fed.

What I'm curious about is what signs to look for when it's time to pair the male with the females, or female to the male. Can you pair them up at any time or is there a specific window? That's the part that is confusing me at the moment.

I don't plan to pair up now, but I just want to be prepared for when the time comes.

Thanks,
Kyle
