Why won't he???
So I thought I'd post this thread to see if I can get some answers. I have a male pastel (2007) who I got a girlfriend for at a show to see if i could get some pastels this year. However, being with her several times in the last month, neither snake has shown interest in the other. Now, I also have a 2005 blackback that has been itching to breed. So, just for curiousity's sake to see if it was maybe the female that wasn't receptive, I put the female with my blackback male. He instantly started to court her, and by the next morning, he was locked with her, and locked two more times. Another interesting part is that the blackback male put every inch of his body over the female, as if he was afraid I was gonna take her away. Weird huh? I was just wondering what the reasons could be for the male not wanting to breed....he is producing sperm plugs and all, and he weighs about 1100-1200 grams.
