Ovy while beeing locked :O

[GPreptiles]

The only reasonable explanation is that they are not locked and they are just laying like that, or BP's can lock during ovy's!



What do you think .

They don't looked locked up to me from that picture, def looks like a ovulation though.

[Ladybugzcrunch]

They look locked to me! There is no reason why they CAN NOT lock during anytime; mating CAN occur at anytime BUT usually does not due to behavioral patterns associated with hormone release from the female. Same way warm furry wiggly objects prompt a strike. With snakes it is all reaction to an action, they do not think like we do. Their brains are VERY simple and only have 2 components. There is no frontal lobe. Perhaps this girl is just special

Or perhaps she's just to miserable to shoo him away at the moment.

Here is a video from this ovy .

That is absolutely a lock, have to be pretty blind to see that. And it's not at all uncommon to see them locked during an OV and even post OV

Is it worth pairing post-OV? My biggest girl has a massive case of "tail suck" today. She's locked four times with the male since the first week of November.

I think when they ovy then you don't have to pair them any more . I think most of the time they won't lock after ovy .
