How long should one allow a pair of snakes, namely coastals, stay together for the purposes of copulatory activity? My coastals have been going at it almost daily for about a month now and this is what has prompted this post. Should I just leave them until no further interest is shown or should I seperate them? If they'll let go of each other long enough for me to do so that is  |

I'd leave them together until they lose interest, but you could probably separate them now, the job is probably done. Some would recommend separating them so the female isn't getting stressed, but my personal feeling is that this shouldn't be a problem.

I always leave them together africa, once she has ovulated thats when I seperate them and make sure the females cage temp is right back up to normal. |

| Yeah, I'd expect him to be seeking warm temperatures after eating a large conspecific. Quote: |

| No, my carpet ovulated last night which is a good sign, I saw a friend's jungle ovulate about a month ago (spectacular ovulation that was!) some people have already had snake eggs, so it's definately not too early. Basking on her side at this time of year is very promising. Good luck!
