No, no pictures, but they look pretty much the same as they did last year and the year before; I could post old pictures? :wink:
Same pairings, JJ with both Xyla and Maddie; Milo still being a dud.

Actually looked it up, and the REAL cold front doesn't come until Saturday, which will make it get down to 61.. so hopefully Xaunder will be up then. I figured since it rained the cold would come, but it is only supposed to get down to 70 for just about the whole week. :(

AND YES, we demand recent photos!!

If it gets real cold they wont show as much interest,might not get cold enough for you there but some years mine have patches of not warm enough to mate weather which prolongs the females window

Last cold front Virginia got in the mood, and it got a little colder than 61.. Just hoping it will happen with Xaunder.

Hey, this is my first breeding season, so I'm quite fascinated with everything! From the hemipene eversion, all the way to the actual copulation. I should probably write *GRAPHIC* on the title shouldn't I?

Virginia is starting to get a bit scabby on her sides from the bites, what are some things I can put on her after breeding season is over? Or should I just leave it alone?

Hi All, This is my first post. I have been reading the forum for quite some time now. Read Dakota's post and thought I would speak up too. A couple of my Merauke females and a Merauke male have bred several times in the last couple of weeks. Of coarse this does not mean that babies are on the way but just wanted to add this information to the post. Thanks

You're a Tennessean AND a Merauke keeper/breeder/enthusiast???? What city do you live in if you don't mind me asking?

I was born in Tennessee.. just recently moved about 6 months ago.

I think all potential Merauke breeders for next breeding season needs to mark this date on the calender for next year. :lol:

Yeah really, what's up? I want to hear from everybody who's ever tried to breed Meraukes in the US; have you, or do you know of anybody who's ever had Merauke matings, tried breeding during this time of year before?!

Perhaps this is what kept people from breeding them in the past? They always paired them like Northerns?

Have we unlocked the secrets to breeding Meraukes?!?!?!?!?! :shock: :lol:

In that case, if babies show up this spring too, all the credit goes to Andrew Seike; he is the one who urged me to put my Meraukes together right after I got them from him in Nov 2011.
