GJ I'm in NY and its already getting cold here and my snake room has gotten down in the mid 70's a couple times. I turn on the heater to get cool side temps around 80 then turn it off and it's usually good for 24hrs before I have to turn it back on... I was going to wait a bit but my female has refused food the past two weeks and has been hanging out on the cool side so I figured it couldnt hurt to throw in a male and get her thinking about him. About 10hrs after I put him in I had a lock so its looking good right now.
Adizzie - Thank you for the compliments. Yes that pastel female is holding her colors very well. Right now shes a little over 1750g and I can say she was well worth the extra 300$ the breeder was asking for compared to other pastels. That male is an 06' captive hatch out of Africa. The guy who acquired him tried to breed him early in 06' but he didnt get the job done. He needed some cash and didnt want to wait another yr to potentially prove him out so he let this guy go. I didnt have any females big enough to breed last year but I think the wait may have paid off... so far he seems pretty motivated. Hopefully good things come out of this pairing and he is genetic.
