So i had them both in rubs , the room they are in gets cold when the heating isnt on , so i had put them into the viv for a few nights with an ifra red bulb , male was totally restless , the next nite i put the hides in with them , the female slinked off and stayed in her hide , he just went in and came back out . managed to get a ceramic today as i figured it could be the light . so changed it , took hides out for now , hes still totally restless and showing no more interest in the female who seems calm and curled up . I havent seen any locks with the two of them either in the viv or in the rub . The only thing i saw was him spur rubbing near her tail but she didnt react . i pair them for 5 days seperate and feed and have tried this on three occasions . Hes 856 grams give or take and shes 1780 grams give or take , neither have been bred before . Shes feeding now with me as she hadnt fed for the guy since Oct the 5th and i got her the beginning of november and she took for me and is now feeding fine . The male had been eating for the lady i got him off , but has since not had anything from me . Temps in the viv are sitting at 25-27 cool end 31 warm . The viv isnt massive , just over 2.5 foot by 1.5 . The person I got the female off had her co habiting with a male or around 800 grams , he said the male was "too young " to breed and when i questioned about seeing any locks he hadnt seen any at all . Could this be the reason shes not interested in the male ? Any ideas what i could do ? am i over thinking it ? why is he so restless ? Sorry just my first ever time pairing snakes .
