Anyone's guess- that was a first & only time for me. And I've never bred huge numbers of snakes.Originally Posted by Homebody
Some species are more prone to this than others also- I'd expect this of king snakes, but I've successfully bred plenty of king snakes without any issues. (I took precautions- introducing each to the other's scent before being put together to gauge their interest.) I surely did NOT expect this from a rat snake.
You always have to remember that snakes are predators though. Perhaps because the "perp" male was an amel.- maybe something else wasn't quite right with him- but still not obvious to me. I mean, there's probably more than one reason that these are not what survives in the wild- and it's why I tend to prefer what nature has ended up with rather than going after fancy "morphs".
