    my first year breeding

    I have been putting my female pastel and male together for awhile and have continuously noticed locks, but I wasn't able to get a good picture until now. This will be my first year breeding so I am kind of nervous.

    Re: my first year breeding

    Is this because of the size difference? The female is 1560g and the male is 2360g. The male is 5-6 years old and the female is 2 years old.

    Re: my first year breeding

    usualy the females ontop, thats my female pastel, notice shes ontop. Not 100 percent sure about the ontop thing but i would ask someone else just to make sure. all my females are always on top, never saw a male ontop.

    Hmmm, I did look around and notice that too. Well that would mean both my snakes were mis-sexed. I took them both to NERD and they said the pastel was female, however I remember a while ago I tried popping her and she looked male, but I have never really popped a snake before.

    Well, I did pay female price for the pastel, but I got the male free a couple years ago. Should I try sexing either of them, both, or just leave them and see which one ovulates? Let me also add that the pastel didn't eat last week and she has never missed a meal and has the feeding response equal to my RTB.

    Sounds like he is saying he is breeding a female pastel to a normal male
