First hook-ups for me!!

Nope..i changed nothing...She still got exercise..take her out when she hasnt eaten recently(48 hrs)..and let her crawl up & down things...Arms..legs..chairs..Stairs if ya gott'em. The idea is to keep her fit..not flabby....anyway..i kept her on the same feeding shedule...until she refused...then i tried again the following 2 weeks..both time she refused...at that point i was fairly positive she was gravid.
 
aww gotcha yea we take them all out everyday let them climb on me... and all that jazz.. so once she is gravid she won want to eat. odd totally thought it would be the other way around! lol
 
well,
they stop eating because the growing eggs inside them make it difficult or painful to pass the poo....
 
o this is true didnt think that one all the way though lol i wouldnt want to poo with all those eggs in there! well i just put her in there now and she slithering all over like last time.. we will see if she wants to do it or not!
 
have you ever seen the male like hold the female down with with his mouth sorta look like hes biting her but i dont know if he was biting her i took her out right after we saw it and then he was trying to bite me!! and the rest of the night he was going around looking for her he just looked mad! i know he was cause i took his women away but have you heard of anything like that>>?!
 
Sometimes the male will bite (not really) the females neck area in an attempt to hold her in place...so he can do his business.
 
gotcha!
well i will try to put them back together then later in the day! he is such a bully sometime though, he pulls her off the top rim of the tank cause she will get up there and somehow stay on the tiny ledge but he hates it!

i guess sense this is her first time/ mine too there are some things that we both need to learn lol
 
be honest....is it irritating?? I mean....I'm just excited...And I want the whole world to know whats happening...Ya know...i'm proud of my babies...next year I'll be a bit more subdued...Just everything is so new for me this year. It's almost like losing your virginity...in an odd,twisted kind of way...anyway, just don't want to be anoying to anyone. i'm just having a blast.
 
Gosh no! It's not irritating (unless your babies hatch before mine) ;)
I'm in the same boat...first year breeding, waiting for the eggs to hatch...checking
at least 2X day...yeah, I know how you feel :D
 
Rich, I think this has been the best thread since sliced bread. You have entertained and educated us. Now when it comes time for the eggs to hatch just make sure you have the camera ready and batteries charged.

I have to agree!
The thought has crossed my mind to bring my clutch bins to work, so I can sit & watch them hatch...haha
 
well,
:eek: Awww Shucks!! Seriously...I'm glad people have enjoyed this thread. I was actually considering paying the $50.00 to get my own "forum" thingie...and move this thread there. It truly is all about the snakes...and my love for them. I'll never be a kathy Love or a Rich Z. (in terms of Size of collection and fame in this community)... Those guys are WAY out of my league. and I have the Deepest admiration & respect for each of them....but when i started this thread i wanted the more "personal" approach to the whole process. If it's happened here...you guys know about it. kinda like a "Snake Breeders reality Show" without all the $%@!*^% Beeps! :)

well,
I was looking for a Smilie who's head swells and then explodes. LOL
Thanks for the compliments....More updates coming. was thinking of taking pics of me setting up the hatchling section. But then I thought...maybe murphy would frown on me for that...don't wanna jinx myself. the camera is fully charged daily...Umm...as far as remembering to actually TAKE a pic...that's a whole different story!! LOL
 
SO! if you were me would you think your girl is done with the male, we put her in his tank and she keeps "running" away from him, rattling her tail she never ever does that, and trying to stay up on the ledge of the tank to stay away from him..

what would you think??!
