I kind of think I know the answer, but want to know for sure. I have 2 females, 15 inches and 11 inches, and 1 male, about 10 inches. They are in an 800 square foot ish horse shoe shaped enclosure. It is heavily planted. They have an 8 foot by 4 foot insulated, heated box. My large female rarely leaves the box except when I make her, or to nest.
Mort, my male, is young. This is his 1st year with females. Let's say he is eager.
When I checked on them this afternoon, there was blood in the box. Scarlett, my large female had blood smeared on her. She was out of the box. No wounds, so I checked Mort. He also has blood smeared on him, and no visible wounds. I have divide the box to separate him from them. Is it safe to assume he has worn himself out, so to speak, or is it her?
Do I need to do anything else for them, anything I should be looking for? How long do they need to be separated? Am I not thinking of something else?
