    you really only need to put them together once a month, the 3 day rule is for a male who's being paired to multiple females. Ideally though, you wanna give them plenty of time to rest. She might take the first go, she might not, so try again in a month. also, totally cool to offer food during off-time.

    Take him out when they are done. No need to put him back in 3 days. You can breed them once or twice a month and that will be enough.

    I find this to be a GREAT website for visualizing the signs of a developing female.

    It's not 100% perfect, because each snake is an individual and some of them do weird things, but it covers what you should generally expect to see.
