Sat, May 24, 2008 - 8:43 AMNot till she actually gives birth. LOL!
She could have slugs meaning not formed babies. After this shed we start feeding her good meals to help any possible babies to grow. So far this male who is with her did not impregnate the other two females he was with. But if we start feeding and she grows and stays curled up in a tight coil on her basking side of the enclosure it could mean she is keeping her belly warm and incubating babies.
I am ssssso excited.

Tue, May 27, 2008 - 10:22 AMAsha she shed yesterday and is still very dark in color and staying curled up. We will try to put them in separate containers to feed them and them put them back together.
The other two females (not mine) he was with are not gravid. -

Tue, May 27, 2008 - 10:39 AMohh I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
This is such a looooooooong process! I don't think I would have the patience!
At what point does it become dangerous to keep them together? -

Tue, May 27, 2008 - 12:56 PMFirst off I wuold never feed them in the smae enclosure I would be afraid they would fight over food. And as soon as she starts swelling and laying on her side and such I will remove him.
Normally snakes do not live together in the wild. So really it is not a good idea to house them together unless you are breeding them.

Wed, May 28, 2008 - 5:50 AMNot really dangerous, to each other anyway. Unless you are trying to feed them in the same enclosure.
Although most Boids do not live in groups in the wild they rarely show agression toward each other.
The real problem is that most enclosures are only intended for one snake. It will have one "best basking, one cool area, one best hide area" ect, and usually the largest snake will take it and may push the other snake out. Creating a somewhat stressful environment for the smaller snake because it cannot move away from the other snake. Stress is not a bad thing and is probably benifical in moderate doses, It adds varity to the environment, but should not be constant.
