I have a 7-year old big mama amel and a hunky okeetee phase male. Both were brumated for 10 weeks or so, and I woke them up about a month ago. They've been eating like pigs, and the female just shed. I put the male in with her and both snakes seemed bored -- certainly not in the mood. My question is this: Is it OK to take the male out now and assume the female will smell sexy after her next shed? or, do females start exuding pheromones in between sheds? Just curious if anyone knows the answer . . .

Female Attractive After 2nd Shed?

Many of my females aren't "sexy" immediately after their first shed. Most of the time, the males start to get interested closer to a week after the female sheds, but it can vary quite a bit from one female to another, and from year to year. And on occasion, you do have to wait until after the female's second shed.
I would recommend that you just keep introducing the pair every 2-3 days. When they're ready, you'll know it!
