Oh Adam I like this theory....now the question is, do you introduce the male a day before the storm? An hour before? During the storm? I need to start to watch the weatherOriginally Posted by Adam_Wysocki
Snow is actually even better than rain. Any low pressure storm system will get them going ... not just for breeding, but many times for feeding as well.
From talking to some people with backgrounds in biology and animal behavior about this, I have a theory that it has to do with the fact that predators are less likely to "hunt" during storm systems because their sense of sight and smell are limited ... and since breeding and eating are times when ball pythons are most vulnerable, they feel more secure breeding and eating during storms when the predators aren't looking for them. But like I said, it's just a theory.
