    Great suggestion John. I've heard a few breeders mention this little trick and it does seem to work. We have one of our three females that are slated for our male YB acting a bit stand offish with him so I think we'll likely try this ourselves next week if she keeps it up.

    Have they been together continuously? I like to put them together for a few days, seperate, feed if needed, and repeat. If I see nothing the first time, then next time it is like a fresh slate, and usually then they are locked.

    Well there must be something to this idea that I keep hearing about that sudden changes in weather trigger breeding activity. Our weather here in Toledo just went through a huge change in the past 36 hours. I put two of my snakes together that ignored each other last time and literally within minutes they were all over each other!

    Think it's time for me to more closely watch the weather forecasts.

    It might have something to do with barometric pressure?

    I actually had to do this with my pinstripe male cause he refused to go near one of the pastel girls, but would lock with a normal no problem. IT WORKS!!!
