I have 2 separate adult bredli python I purchased from different states with freight to here in vic a couple months ago and hope to breed them now.
They each have a large tank each, the female eats a lot (like 2 mice a week) and the male still hasn't eaten even though i offer them frozen mice, quail).
Where do I go from here to breed them?
They have been cooled for a few weeks.
Now I put them in empty rooms converted to enclosures (I.e. I literally turned my whole laundry which is 4x4m into a temp enclosure with heating, water/food bowls, hides, etc and sealed off any holes) and introduce them both at the same time but they have no interest at all. I leave them for a few hours before i have to go to work, etc then have to put them back.
How long can I leave them together and if they do mate, how long does the process last for? Any behaviour I should look out for?
I also bought a large brandnew chicken egg incubator (it's about 50cm by 50cm square and 20-30cm tall), it has small poles to rotate eggs but these can be removed. It is preset to 38deg cel, and I'm not sure if I can adjust it to 30degrees, would I be able to use this? I am also in the process of making a bar fridge incubator using a heat cord and thermostat. Which ever is more cost effective to run.
