Has anyone ever had a female who almost refuses to get pregnant? I have my breeding room setup perfect and other snakes are doing the naughty but I have 1 particular female who won't allow her body to get to temperature. She is roughly 7' and about as thick as 2 cans of soda. She is in a 6 foot cage with proper heat and humidity. The male is all over her but she refuses to let her body get over 80-83 degrees. From what I have read, 86 is what is needed? I was pretty sure I saw her ovulate and shed, but with those temperatures it makes me think that it was just a seasonal shed and not a POS. Any thoughts? Would it be a bad thing to put her in a smaller cage so she has less of an opportunity to regulate? I by no means want to 'force' a breeding... if that is even possible..
