You havent got a male and you are buying one?
THINK about the whole QUARANTINE issue, You have the potential to introduce
any type of disease or parisite.
Have you conditioned the female over the last 3-5 months to ensure that she has the
ability to produce eggs without over stressing her body and depleeting her of vital body
condition.
There is a whole lot more to breeding than just throwing 2 snakes together and a lot of people dont realise or understand this.
While it isnt to late i would suggest you slow down the pace a little and research the whole
breeding side of things a lot more and progress down this track next year.
You snakes will reward you with a good sized healthy clutch of eggs for doing so.

And what about quarantine? Your not worrying about that?

 

[maanz641]

i wasnt that worried unless the animal doesnt look heathy of co**** , should i be ?

 

[dangles]

even a healthy looking snake may be carrying an underlying illness which is why quarantining any new addition is a must

and its alot worse for snakes esspecially with opmv, if it wasnt a new snake i wouldve said go for it, otherwise quarantine it for about 6months
