Been waiting to see this for a loooong time...



I'm not on the forums nearly as much as I used to be, but for anyone who might remember we picked up this pair of 'superblack' sumatrans a few years back. Smoking hot, black all the way down to the belly, nice clean full reverse stripe on the dorsal. We paired them up a few years in a row but never once saw so much as a lock between them. Now I know for sure what I suspected... this is the 'male' ovulating after being paired and locking with another male in our collection!

Forgive me for asking a dumb question, but do the Male Sumatrans go through ovulation and lock up with other Males? That is bizarre. are they hermaphroditic?
Amazing looking animal!

Not at all hon. Hence the quotes around the word male. Obviously the reason he had not gotten anything from mating the supposed "pair" of superblacks is that they were both girls.

Now the snake once believed to be his male is obviously gravid, and definitely female!
