    Super weird question

    So I've been introducing my male to my female and they have had several good locks. I'm going to put him in again tonight but I think they're both about due to poop. Does this matter or do I have to wait until they go?

    Does not matter, plus snakes seems to like it dirty anyway.

    Well it is the truth! And I sure wish someone had warned me about the mess in advance. The first time I checked on my first ever pairing I was like

    Some breeders believe that when they poop and pee while mating that sexual pheromones are voided as well. Those breeders won't clean up that mess until they are satisfied with the actual breeding duration. It was related to me that the physical stimulation and pheromone output outweighed the necessity to clean up. Personally, i am going to clean up the mess. I would wait. That's the decision for me. Its up to you. Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Would I just have to wait until they unlock?

    OH, I definitely would wait for them to unlock if you want to clean up. Some believe the pheromones are also shedded away and they will leave the shed skin in with the male and female also. So, you have poop, pee, and shedded skin all in the breeding tub. Doesn't work for me because i feel waste products are a vector for disease and i am going to remove it. Good luck.

    Yep. You definitely don't want to interrupt them while they're busy!
