I'm confused

I've read what was supposed to be a timeline for.breeding but I don't think I understand. So foregoing the temp Chang and light timing stuff. Say I just put two snakes together and they lock, go from there what's next, when do the folichols come. How many days till ovulation how many days till eggs what to look for and when.

That should sum up the basics for you http://www.ballpython.ca/gallery/breeding.html

The only timeline you can count on is once the animal ovulates every thing else prior to that may vary.

As for breeding recipe you need to find the one that work for you, so read up (the information is out there) try things out and decide for yourself what works best.

They will lock, and lock and lock and lock and....

This process takes months, sometimes many many months, and sometimes you still get nothing.
Read all you can and ask lots of questions based on your research :gj:

I'm pairing a male and female now. What do I look for next and about when should it happen?

There is no defined timeline of events. Keep pairing them up until you see an ovulation. Once you see the ovy then you can start working the timeline which even then varies a bit.

The link Deborah gave you is very useful as is this forum. Keep researching and learning.

This is not like breeding dogs one tie up and puppies in 2 months. There are lots of variables in breeding BPs so a true to the day timeline is not available.

Did you even glance at the link provided? It has the answers of what is next :gj: and again there is NO TIMELINE until ovy happens.

Glance! I've read it several times and I get the basic idea. I guess I'm just excited and so Damn green about this, but I see what your saying it varies from animal to animal and I will just document what I do and when I notice changes in my snakes behavior I'll take it from there. Sorry for being a pain I'm just so excited about this new hobby and so hungry for info. I wish we had a herp. club nearby.

Key word with breeding is patience, you may pair your animals several times for MONTHS before nothing change, keep that link handy, read up on palpating and be patient.

To give you an example of how patient you need to be, I started to pair some females in November last year and have one lay as early as February and one late as last week (and everything in between) :gj: ....and of course some never took.
