thankyou
 
Hmmm is this the same Male in the same Viv as the female. If so....OF COURSE HE'S NOT GOING TO EAT. He's horny and wants sex with that female. So SEPARATE THEM...and then try feeding him later.

Reptilemt. If the snake is laying on it side like you said, it's time for a vet visit. And you need to do some researching on snake basic care and breeding before taking on such adventures.

Here a start for you. Get the snake to a vet.

Hey, maybe you should actually slow down and absorb the advice people keep trying to give you (and have been trying to do for several days now). Reading the links Lennycorn listed for you would be a good start.

You don't need to make a new topic in the forums every time you have another thought, either... it gets kind of annoying when people do that. Just continue on with one thread.
 
no but the male is in another vivarium now with the female.He already mated 3 times with the female.is that enough?????i seperate them today.but he dont wont to eat what can i do?????in malta we dont have any vets that checks snakes or reptiles what can i do please help me.



ABOUT THE POSTS WHAT I AM DOING WRONG???????
 
I too am a newbie and worry about lots of things. Maybe before you ask a question go to the search section and see if it has already been answered.
From this thread I (and others probably) don’t know if your snakes are together or separate. If they are together separate them, again read the links you have been provided by ‘lennycorn’.
If you still feel you have a question think it through, think about how to word your question, and what forum it should be in. It may be your excitement has overtaken your judgment. As I read it sounds like you are in Malta, if you don’t speak English and are putting these questions trough a translator program, this forum may be difficult for you to navigate and others to understand you. Your questions are worded poorly and difficult to follow, and you post the same question on several forums. Nobody would fault an error a time or two, but you post every few minutes same question different forum.
 
If you just separated them today, wait a few days before trying to feed him. He needs time to calm down and forget about that female. When male snakes get "in the mood" they don't think about food, only about mating.

Well lets see. Your new to corns. You go breeding without knowing anything. You separate your snakes and not know if the poor male needs heat. Obviously this makes me wonder if humidity, heat, and everything else is adequate enough for the female. YOUR NEW AND KNOW NOTHING. Thats what your doing wrong. So go read and study on corns before buying any more. Hold old are these snakes? Are they old enough to be breeding. Cause if their not old enough and of size to be breeding. Then that was the first biggest mistake you've made. I Don't mean to sound Harsh. But You obviously know nothing. Please, please, PLEASE read what these fellow herpists are telling you and do it. Breeding corns are not just something you can do like mice. You need to read, understand and have a passion for doing what you are doing. I'm worried about these poor snakes of yours.

While I agree with you being new is not wrong.
Did it occur to anyone this person may need a little extra help, i.e. language barrier, or other problem!!!

It's because he's posted countless new threads, some identical, and is clearly not taking any notice whatsoever of the advice we're trying to give.
