HI all, just a quick querie.
Woke up this morning and discovered my male fully attached and going hard with one of the females, they have never started this early before. Question:
Is this too early and is it common? Has anyone experienced this as well?
I've never witnessed it this ealy in the season, or is his just getting in early practice.
We have had a cooler snap lately, just puzzled. Though an early clutch wouldn't be bad either  |

Our are at it all the time.
I have even seen them at it within a week of the eggs being laid.
Trader keeps referring to them as "teenagers"

I was wonder whether it was common with this species, 1st time i'd noticed it so early we have to wait and see.
But his always been a dirty little devil anyway
And she is a good looking girl can't blame him  she's below

Yommy I asked a simiar question a while ago as I found my childrens at it often and the answer is as herptrader said they are "at it all the time". Mine are only about 18months old and have just started the last month but seem to enjoy it often. Yours are nice looking snakes. Dave

Don't knock poor old Bob (male) though he is plain phase he is a great snake.
I wanted to get the three standard types of colour phase we get here in the NT.
All the offspring are stunners anyway some fade some stay nicely marked.
You can't go wrong with NT phase children's.

anteresia seem to have a longer mating period than most of our pythons, this is pretty common yommy.

It must be our early drop in temps.
I put my pr of Macs & pr of Childreni together to see if they were interested.
Within the hour both all pairs were locked and stayed that way for hours. 
Don't have pics of childreni's mate with me, as I'm at work.
Sorry guys..... DIDN'T HAPPEN
:wink:
