Locks, with a ?

This is my first year breeding, me and my brother are going in together, we just finished cooling and started pairing.
(Pictures were taken off of my phone, thats why they are poor quality. The snakes have much more color in person)

These two locked within an hour of pairing them.

Locked overnight.

Locked within a couple of hours.

Also my male pastel locked with one of my other normal females but I didnt get picture of that. So far my male cinnamon isn't wanting to lock with any of the girls, so we are being patient.

If the locks are successful at fertilizing, how long will it take to see ovulation? How exactly does that work becuase they obviously aren't like humans that drop eggs monthly, what response is triggered when they are breeding to drop eggs? Thanks in advance.

I can't really answer your question because I've never bred before, but just wanted to say you've got some nice looking pairs :gj:

Good Luck with them. Nice pairs.

The best way to do it is to just keep paring them up till they are not interested in mating any more or till eggs are dropped....Then you dont have to worry about missing anything....
