Successful pulchra mating!

[equuskat]

The boy is Patrick's and was at my house for about 5 hours...then the tapping started. I didn't plan to attempt anything 'till at least tomorrow, but they wanted to do it - NOW.

Here's the boy:

Here's the girl:

And they like each other :

So true, not to rain on the parade but they can mate but not get a viable egg sac, keep your fingers crossed, proof is in the sac, but they had fun anyway

Guys, don't be silly. It was a successful MATING, not a successful breeding - yet.

That's why I chose the term mating. They MATED, it went off beautifully and without a hitch, but we do not yet know if a "breeding" has been successful. I realize that it could be months and months before Sable considers producing a sac, but there's no reason to not be excited about the first step!!

I'm familiar with all that terminology after about 12 years of selectively breeding animals.

In that case... Good luck with your breeding

I knew I should have held my tongue, yes, its a happy time

It's a good first step, and it is exciting for it to start out so easily. Made my day, anyway.

Sable molted about a month ago, so she has probably a year to think about making a sac. I won't lose hope till she molts or makes a sac and eats it.

Great!! Good luck with the rest of the story. I'm excited for you.
