    Will all females eventually have eggs?

    Alright so this is another one of those things that ive been thining about lately.

    My neioghbor has and adult male and female that are i think 7 years old. Both around 4 feet (but not sure on weight) They have lived in the same enclosure together there whole lives and they have never produced eggs.

    Im planning on buying her female but if its never produced will it now?

    They have never tried to breed so the temps are the same all year around. Do males and females have to be seperate until breeding? If i introduce her to my male is there a chance i could get a bond?

    Plan is to move her here and put her and my male at 86-88 degrees for 2 weeks then introduce them together.



    Sorry for all the questions but all feedback is greatly appreciated.

    There are never any guarantees. Some females never breed or reproduce...especially wild-caught. If you're sure both animals are the correct sex...then it's most likely a lack of proper environmental conditions to stimulate sexual activity between the two. But every now and then, you'll run across a female that is simply either never receptive to the male, or is incapable of producing viable eggs for some reason. MOST females will breed, if properly cared for.

    Re: Will all females eventually have eggs?

    yea, I was thinking the female just doesnt like the male or possibly one or both were sexed badly and can not breed.

    But then the point was raised about enviroment, if the house is kept at a steady 70s, 80s and they never have that 90 degree option. Then that would stop them as well

    Well the lady has been ignoring me so im going threw a new petstore in town to get a female 1200-2000 grams. so well see what happens with that. Also the owner is spose to be getting graziani line morphs so i might have a nice local morph shop soon.

    But back to the other snake. She keeps them in a sun room. Its about 90 degrees if not hotter right now. And it cools down alot during the winter. So i think ur right about them being sexed wrong. So im kinda glad shes been ignoring me otherwise id already have the snake and come to find out its a male.
