I'm distraught over this as it is my first serious mistake since I started keeping snakes. but I will absolutely do everything in my power to make it right for them. thanks again to those of you that took the time to give me information and advice, as well as explain all this to me.

Thank you for finally taking the advice and separating your snakes! It's a relief to hear, though the damage is already done.
People on the forum do know what they're talking about. For future reference, it's wise to listen to experienced keepers about things to do or NOT to do, preferably before suffering the consequences...

thanks for all the information and thorough explanation, I appreciate it

oh, they have been separated since the locking first started which was a day before I posted this. this all started up saturday.

No use crying over spilt milk. Learn to listen to those who know more and have more experience,(good advice for us all). To elaborate on one of Wolfy's options she simply may not ovulate at all. I'm sure everyone here has had mature, healthy snakes lock and nothing ever came of it for whatever reason. I bred a 700g spinner to 3 females all of breeding size and had visual locks with all three but none ovulated at all. It happens. You may get lucky.
