Our first lock ever now for a question

[derrabe]

Here are pictures of the first lock ever in our collection. Now how long does it last? My wife said they have been like that all day. I was planning on separating them but since they are still locked I guess I will wait. Also since I am newbie when it comes to breeding snakes. Do I continue you pair them till she is visibly pregnant or now that they are confirmed in a lock does that mean that she will get pregnant?

Keep pairing till she ovulates.. and even then your a long way from know for sure.. But closer.

How do I know she is ovulating? And how long do I leave them locked? Or do I wait till he just lets go.

about 3/4 of the way down her body it will look like she ate a BIG rat. just keep pairing until this happens!!! GOOD LUCK

Hmmm.... put yourself in his shoes LOL would you like someone to interrupt you while you're doing "your job"?
They'll separate when they are good and ready.
