Feeding while mating

[hoppyone]

My childreni are mating and was just wondering about feeding her, would this cause any problem's as she is alway's hungry

Yes it will, because you shouldn't feed to snakes in the same enclosure and I am sure you won't be pulling them apart!

thank's fay no i dont feed in enclosure's i have been putting my male in with both my female's weekly both girl's have seperate enclosure's what i would like to know would feeding her after he has done his thing(13 and half hour's)

 

[FAY]

I understand.
If she will eat let her...if you notice her getting fatter down the track....feed whoever wants to feed, but I will only give smaller feeds to the female, if you get my drift..

I have female snakes which will eat while mating. Courting or mating males will never be interested in feeding. Not that there is any reason other than novelty to try it. A friend of mine was appalled at how insulting one of my Water Pythons was the other day when he saw her crawl over to get a drink while she was being mated :lol: Poor guy must have felt like such a dud! :lol:
