    Hi, do you guys still pair your ball python after an ovulation? Does it make an difference?

    There's no need to pair after the ovulation. What happens during the ovy is the follicles are moved into the oviduct and the stored sperm is introduced. After that there is no need for any more sperm because all the eggs that are gonna get fertilized have already been. After that it's just wait and see.

    No. I haven't had a female that would still lock after ovulation, that's usually how I know if I missed an ovulation. Once they ovulate they are going to lay, so there's no benefit to breeding more.

    like others have said once the female has ovulated there is no point putting a male in with her as she won't want anything to do with him. Ovulation signals that the follicles have been fertilized and the egg will start to form... :D
