Yeah this cant just be skipped over, males and females cannot be kept together in this way. If that male matures sexually and the female WONT be ready he is going to do her so much damage and potentially kill her.
As for not moving, they do this all the time, my corn hasn't moved in a week, he is as blue as a suffocating smurf right now, you soon learn to read what they are doing (with the occasional curve ball thrown in).
They are in the same faun but with the devider between them
Well thats a different ball game lol. All good. |

A huge weight has been lifted it looks like his lack of movement is due to him shedding soon,thanks for putting my mind at rest marc mate. |

Ahh i see good idea.
I have a friend who bought one of my hypos last year..
think we're going to do some breeding once she's old enough, they were gonna buy a male off me this year but seen as only one of my eggs has hatched they might have to wait or get one of someone else.. new genes lol!

Yeah he bought them of me. Hopefully in a few years i will find out off him if they carry any hets. If his male is big enough in two season i might ask if he wants to go half on a clutch and i use his male with shelly |

Oh good :) glad he's okay.
I was gonna suggest that he might have felt threatened by the other snake.. but never mind :D
Did he buy him off you marc? Think i remember his post in the Intro's section |

All sorted ive just been round and hes in shed prob solved. They are in a faun with the devider seperating them |

He could be due to shed. One of mine doesn't move for 7-10 days when he's going to shed and just sits in the hot hide the whole time. I wouldn't give up on them, but try to get a small cheap set up and separate asap. |

Dont get me wrong people im not giving up on them i just want to make sure i do the best for them and bring them up heathly |
