[i]Pair 1[/i] Ramses and Pearl, our hypo to het hypo couple, got off to rough start. The night of introductions, there was a lot of pushing and shoving of furniture. I have seen not a bit of activity since then, as the two snakes have ignored each other: Ramses hides behind the water bowl, and Pearl migrates between the hide and water bowl as her mood fits. However, I’ve hardly given up on them: last year Ramses did not get down to business until mid-May, and his mate still delivered a full litter of bouncing baby Brazilians. Maybe he’s just working up his nerves.

For two months, they coexisted without much activity. Then, in mid-March, they got serious, with over a week of shared water bowls and one possible tail wrap. Sporadic but unseen activity has continued, with a dried sperm plug being found as later as this past week.

As always, thank you for reading. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
