Hey guys, been a while since I've posted on here. Been busy breeding ball pythons! I currently have 2 sulcatas. My big male (confirmed) Dozer, and a little one I got about a year and a half ago, who was temp-sex incubated for female. I named her Delilah. She's been growing like a weed since I got her.
Last week I was giving them a routine soak aaaaand out pops Delilah's junk. Aw crap. I mean...I'm pretty well 100% this confirms it as a male, but I just wanted to check with you guys.
So now my problem becomes...can these 2 ever live together? Will male sulcatas always fight and ram each other? To be clear, they are not and never have been together thus far, but I certainly had plans to put them together eventually.
How do you guys deal with this kind of situation, like lets say you intend on breeding sullys at some point, you buy 3-4 hatchlings one year. Do you just raise them all up, then ditch (kindly re-home) any multiple males you make have? Seems very frustrating, putting all this time and effort to raise them up to sexable size and then have to get rid of them?
Anyways, here's the pics, any insight/advice is welcome!
