Kenyan Breeding

My female now weighs 210 grams on an empty stomach. The problem is my male weighs 52 grams now because he hasn't eaten for a month. He was weight 58 grams. Is he big enough to breed or should I hold off and try getting him bigger?

I've read that this is fairly common in males. Your question caused me to remember this thread on KS: http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=750091,750091 . Hopefully that helps and some kenyan breeders will chime in too.

I have had several 8month old male kenyans breed without cooling. Sometimes they are just ready early.

Well my girl is now over 300 grams. The last 2 weeks she had struck at her mouse and held on seeming interested but did not eat. I thought I read somewhere that could mean she is getting ready to give birth. It is possible because I have put my male on her several times. What should I look for? I'm cautiously optimistic and any info would be great.

Even about a month before my girl dropped her babies, she was very fat. She ended up having 13 babies, but I imagine even with a smaller clutch, it is noticable. Here is a pic. It is not the best, but you can get an idea. This was month 3. She ended up having her babies a month after this pic.

Thank you for the photo I will try to take a picture of her. She does seem pretty big. She also feels somewhat jello-y.

Nice snake.

My KSB had babies a day after I fed her a hopper mouse. I didn't even know she was gravid. I had seen the m&f breeding a few months before but she never had a noticeable bulge. Yours very well could be preggers. LOL

I hope so how difficult are the babies to get feeding in relation to other species.

One word: EASY! She had 2.4, all ate live pinkies two days after their first shed and never missed a meal after that. After the first few feedings, I started offering them the live pinks off tongs and then switched to F/T off tongs and all took them. I gave mom this year off and I will soon be introducing a male to her. I have 2.8 KSBs and all are big enough to breed now. I've been moving my anery males from cage to cage and hopefully someone is gravid.
