    Observed Locks and Female tail wagging?
    Hello everyone, this is my first thread so please bear with me (especially with my english). This is my first year in breeding ball pythons and did a few research about it, but I would like to gain more insights if I am doing things right and also to meet people who have the same interests with me.

    My female ball python which is a het. axanthic is already 1800 grams (empty) and I bred her to a Axanthic VPI . I observed two locks from them. I started breeding them last December 10,2014 to be exact. My female used to eat like a monster, and haven't had any moment that she tried refusing it. I always feed her juvenile rats. But recently , she refuse eating those juvenile rats. But when I offered her adult mice, she immediately smack it. I just recently paired them and I think they did the deed again.Is this a good sign or not? From big meals now she wants small sized meals. And I always observed that when I put my male in her tub , she always wags her tail and here is a video for you to see. http://youtu.be/W1gTic9ON-s

    Any tips from you guys would highly appreciated.

    Three days after an observed lock from them, I caught my female now lying like this

    I've read that it usually happens every after successful breeding. But let's wait and see what will happen next.

    Should I still continue breeding it with the male or should I stop now?

    Still continue , just because they lock does not mean you have eggs on the way, the more times they lock the better chance.
