    Re: Rhea's garters and the occasional other beast

    Maybe keeping the sexes apart, but in the same room, is the key factor. I've never done that. I have seen the after-shed attraction many times but it's always been male on female, once it was female on female.

    Re: Rhea's garters and the occasional other beast

    Mama's courted Snakey after he shed... It was kind of funny watching her do that and Snakey trying to get away like "get off of me! you're crushing me!" Mama's too fat to be doing stuff like that to Snakey... She's 3-4 times his size.

    Androgynous snakes. It's kind of humorous. Next thing you know, they'll be sneaking out at night to go club hopping.

    Yeah.... Mama started doing it again... She is a strange little girl. After Snakey hid under the carefresh she laid there with her head under the carefresh. My mom thinks she thinks there's food hidden in there. I wouldnt be surprised. She's been very hungry and... "courty"

    Started doing what again? sneaking out to go to the clubs? Coming home with lipstick prints on her neck and smelling like CK be?

    Re: Rhea's garters and the occasional other beast

    update on my concinnus male who has been getting all this attention from the other males: his rear end blew up, needed to be lanced and he is now on Baytril, recovering in a solo enclosure

    and a little update on my favourite couple:
    I think they look great, considering they haven't eaten since October
    this year I experimented with leaving them in a tank in the sunporch, where they both brumated and are now warming up
    I think they should be ready to eat something soon - he's looking just a tad peakish, and she looks like there's something cooking in there

    and here some from the eastern front
    big beast Sammy



    little Topa



    they"re roomies



    and no, she doesn't glow like in that last photo for real - she just happens to be right underneath the basking lamp
    her real colour is more like a warm brick, and the other photo is pretty close
