Are they almost ready?

You could remove one of the hides. What size tub is she in? I have my girls in 41qt tubs and a hide box on the warm side, though none of the females actually use them.

She's in a 41qt, with two hides she used almost equally until recently.

I put Toby in with her last night, without removing the hides, and left him in until this afternoon... then I removed the hides (Mona was in the cool one, Toby in the warm) to observe their behavior for a while. Mona was definitely interested in him, but he seemed terrified of her! He tucked his head under his belly, and just stayed like that while she checked him out. I felt bad and put him back in his tub, but maybe that is normal behavior?

I think all good men start out very shy...

All three of the males I introduced this week stayed away from the female at first, but later came out of the hide and crawled all over her. My normal male is still rubbing and tail wrapping with his girl, and the pin is just sitting on his, lol. Give him a little more time and he may come around if he's ready.

LOL... I've always been impatient with human men, and apparently I'm the same with snakes.

Haha, I hear you on that one. And for some reason I adopted another one anyways, who after almost 4 years together, is still shy about certain things.

Gotta love men.

They can lift heavy things... and make life more interesting.
