SnakeBytesTV "My Balls Want To Mate!"

[Hypnotic Exotic]

Hey Brian, Great show as always. Had a question on your comment about male breeder size. Are you saying to keep the males below 1,000 grams? A little confused on how I would keep an older male below that for its entire life. I've got a male Cinnie I'm about ready to cycle that's a bit over 1,000 and need to know if he needs to go on a diet and start slithering laps around the snake building

Poor Winston didn't get that memo. At 1800 grams, he loves his ladies. This morning I went to take him out of the girl's tub that he'd already locked with a few days ago, opened the tub, and he looks at me like "do you MIND??????" and they were locked up AGAIN. Have to wait and see if I can clean her tub out tomorrow! LOL

Cleaned all the tubs today, except for the Lovebirds!

Good to know. I'd never heard that before. Not questioning Brian as he is definitely one of the most experienced on here, just hadn't heard it. I also believe snakes (really all reptiles) never stop growing even though they do slow down. So I'm confused as to how you would hold a male below 1,000 grams.

A lot of times I make genralizations in the show, things that are more the rule, just not to confuse people. I have a male ivory that is 2200 grams that breeds like mad, but for the most part I see that larger males get a bit lazy. We feed smaller meals once a week to our males that are over 800 grams. It keeps them healthy, but not over weight. It works for us, but that doesn't mean in anyway thay is you have a larger male that it won't workout great for you. Sorry for not being more clear on that topic. Thanks, Brian(BHB)

Thanks Brian. That clears it up a bit. He seems to be a good weight for his length, not overweight at all. So I guess I'll just keep him on his feeding plan. He gets offered a medium every week but he's known to go weeks without feeding, even in the middle of the summer. So he kind of puts himself on a diet at times
