Took this picture the other morning. I mean, have you EVER seen a snake allow his tail to stay in this position?




I haven't. Maybe under the hide, but not all bent in half like that. This is such a bummer.

Fingers crossed for you (and him). Any sign he may have done the job before this happened?

Nope. Not even a present left laying around. It was still early in the courtship as well. I don't mind her waiting another year if he can get through this.

Actually, one of my Candoia often sits like that, but he has a good portion of the end of his tail missing all together, so he's a bit different from the standard model. Doesn't stop him trying to mate, but I do wonder whether he actually manages, as he can't wrap around properly.

Here are a couple of "stubbies "giving it a valiant attempt - so all may not be lost! (Although of course I hope you won't come to this.....)

A bit off topic, but if he attempts to mate, doesn't manage to wrap but does leave semen lying around, has anyone every tried artificial insemination with snakes?

Never heard of it, but I guess it's plausible.

Anybody notice this in the pic above? Almost looks bruised or something. I don't have the magnification to look at it better then this, so I'll get the doc to when I go in.

I did see that, Rick, and it's a bit odd. I'm interested to hear what the vet has to say about that.

What's even odder is, it wasn't there when I last had him out for the vet to check out here at the house.

I can actually answer this question for you. Chuck and Connie Hurley have done it with corn snakes... and it did work Not sure about the other kinds of snakes but if it works for one, why not another?
