Just built rack have a question

[ballmom]

hmmmm....

Well all my girls are off feed right now which is bothering me. Only one laid eggs, so I don't think that the rest are gravid. Never saw any kind of locks either with the other girls so I'm really pretty sure there not gravid. Still a possibility I guess.

I built the rack to help with this problem (loss of appetite/security) and make my room a little neater lol. But they still seem kind of the same. So now I'm wondering if I should offer a hide, but I'm pretty sure the breeder I got them from didn't have hides either. I mean typically how long are females usually in breeding mode? Do they still think its breeding season? I am having trouble reading them and just want to know what they want right now. Just trying to leave them alone and not stress them, and offering food regularly. I am also going to try and feed at night rather then during the day and with live.

Lemme know what your opinions are everyone

Have you put any of them in water? Kinda give them a bath? Sometimes after they lay eggs they need to get the smell of the eggs off. I would do this separately so they do not get to stressed.

I have a closeed rack and don't use any hides. For my big females I have them in the cb-70 tubs and when they are over 4000 grams, they take up alot of the tub. without using hides my breeding program is doing great. some snakes take forever to go thru their breeding cycle and some fly thru it. last year I started all my females at the same time and my first female with eggs was may 5th, my last female had them late oct.
