Breeding (again)

[coldbloodaddict]

He was having trouble during the summer... I wouldn't worry during the winter, but he should have been packing it in during the summer, but only took a few rats here and there. I tried mice too and smaller rats a few times because I was getting desperate. I was going to declare gerbil before he finally took a rat. He's very fussy about temps and humidity... very fussy.

The older male ball python was packing it in, though. And female normal was fine with it.

So I figure if I breed him less during the winter maybe I could get him to eat a few more times, pick up some grams to be healthier and hope in the spring he won't be under too much so he can pick up the weight again.

It's been ~2 months since she laid. Eggs are hatched and I didn't maternally incubate. Her weight is up, it's naturally darker here earlier...so she should be fine. Most of the time she lays waaayyy late in the season anyway. (Around August 10th) also she's the type to eat until the last minute.

Yeah I know the time line for eggs hatching...She's not ready to breed again!!! Do what you want though...
