Eating while breeding

[dreese88]

On november 25 female was 1745g and male 1100g, now she is 1550g and male 930g. Ill offer her rat tonight. I didnt tough that he will take it, didnt till now.

Did she take a large bowel movement? What kind of rats are you feeding(size & live/pk/ft)? Also do you have another male who may be large enough to breed? If so, take his sperm plugs and wipe them down her back when you try to breed and also maybe try and knock the humidity up in the tubs when trying to breed them by either misting or just tipping the water bowls.

I don't believe that's possible, I have never seen a ball python lose 200 grams in one month.
A female that doesn't eat well during breeding is bound to throw slugs...

Yea, probably due to a large bowel movement or lots of very large urates. Definitely agree about the not eating thing though.
