    Female and male locking times?

    Hello , This is my first season breeding so i have a noob question.

    How many times SHOULD a female ball python lock a month?

    People say 3 days on 3 days off. is that for male and female? or just male?

    Example:
    Put male with female day 1. 2 hours later i saw a lock up for about 13 hours.
    I separated them.
    gave them 3 day break.
    fed the female, male refused to eat... 3 days later i put him back with her. and another lock up...

    But ive been hearing that the male can be switched through different female tubs every 3 days..

    My question is: Can a female handle 3 day breaks then another lock up? Is it dangerous for her? or is it just useless because she hasnt had time to even process the sperm?
    Say i have 3 males, can i put 1 on day 1. another male on day 6, and another on day 11? or is that too much stress for her?

    Thank you
    Sam
