How often is too often?

Young first time males don't lock for very long and many times the locks are never witnessed. Even if your female is not cycling you are not wasting your time, by introducing the male periodically it can make the female begin her breeding cycle. Be patient and keep pairing, they go when they want to, not when you want to.

Tails were under but not curled. Maybe it had been earlier... Thanks Mike. Thanks for the info everyone!

You need to pair them to stimulate the female to grow follicles :gj:

I check on my snakes several times a day and when I catch them locked up I'll pull the drawer open and snap pictures,
I'm not shy, and neither are they.
I am careful to open the tub slowly and close it slowly, but I get lock up pics ALL the time...

I hardly have to ever pull the tub, I just shine a flashlight in thru the front and look for the lock :)

Yellow Dude didn't seal the deal until last night (he's also a first timer) and he didn't do it until after I threw another male in for 10 minutes (closely supervised) to make him jealous. Maybe that would encourage your guy?

I don't have any other adult male, just this one. Next year I'll have three that should be mature, so that is always an option then! Thanks for the tip.
