    locked up.. tub needs cleaning though

    Well, LaVey and Jenny are locked up.. but there is a huge fecal log in there that appeared overnight. Should I just wait until they're done and then clean it up; grab it out quickly and bleach out the tub after they break-up, or leave the whole shabang until they break contact? I am not sure if she's taken yet, as they are still lockin'.. any advice?

    I may be incorrect, but I believe that Adam has said before that he leaves them alone, cleans up when they are separated.

    Leave the breeding snakes alone, thats why I hate taking pics of breeding snakes so much. It has an advantage being a little dirty prior to pairing them up for breeding. check out the first pic of George and Peaches breeding. the tub is dirty. the scent is heavy there, and stimulated George to get right down to the business at hand. and no snakes do not have to live in a sterile environment.(just my opinions here. please, no the flames)

    I looked in shortly after posting, and they had unlocked. I had to bleach out the tub because it was really bad; you could smell it outside of the rack! They were at opposite ends of the tub when I did this.. maybe they are at odds or had a lovers' quarrel?
