Female ovulation

[abel romero]

My female albino finally ovulated yesterday. She had this enormous swelling in her lower mid section as if she was going to burst. I seen coupulation on three different occations. Anyways, my question is this, would it be safe to remove my male at this time. I have another female that I would like to place my male in with. Would it be a good idea to remove the male, feed him for a couple of weeks and then place him in with my second female? Or should I wait until my first female albino goes into a shed? Any suggestions?

I would not remove him till the female goes into a shed. This may not be all that will happen. Boas many times ovulate twice and sometimes a "pre-ovulation swell" can be mistaken for an ovulation. I never remove the male until the female turns opaque. Then he can breed somebody else. No reason why you couldn't take him out to feed him now though. I'd take him out, feed him and place him back in the next day.

Have fun!
