Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a great week.

In the past few years I've been able to slowly but surely pull my collection of ball pythons together in hopes to start breeding them as soon as the males and females are ready. Well this breeding season is my first planned year! (Finally, it felt like forever waiting on my females to get old and large enough to breed).
Unfortunately I will only have 2 females and 2 males (only planned to use one of the males) that are "ready" to go this season and more to come next year.
For this year: 1 "normal" reduced pattern female that is well over 3000 grams and a female pastel HET genetic stripe that's in the 1500 gram range (hatched 2011). The male (900 grams) I planned on pairing up with both females was sold as a spider HET genetic stripe but he looks exactly like a motley bee (spider genetic stripe).
...To the point: on October 1st I set my thermostat to drop the night time temperature. Oct 14th I started introducing the male to both females. 3-4 days with 1 female 3 day break and offered food then 3-4 days with the 2nd female. I know it's still early in the season but I haven't seen my male lock with either of the females. I'll find the male coiled up with the female wrapped around him but that's it...
I have used a shed from my 2nd male (typical normal bp that I got as my 1st pet) as well as his sperm plugs applied to the females backs and neither seem to be helping.
My average humidity/ temps are around 60% and 81°/92°f (night time drops to a hot spot around 83°f).
Like I said, I know it's still early but what else can I do??? I've been looking forward to my very first bp hatchling forever and it would suck to wait another year if there was something i could now. I'm looking forward to getting a pastel spider genetic stripe but at this point I'd be happy with normals. Haha.
Please help! I've done a lot of research before turning to posting a forum here as I'll probably get countless ways to get the same job done.
One last factor that I've been thinking about for years: I live close to 7000ft above sea level... could high altitude effect their performance, if so, any thoughts and/or advice? I couldn't find any info on altitude so im assuming it won't have any ill effect on breeding. I know of breeders in Denver, CO and they are just below 7000ft.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've really enjoyed being a part B-P.net and sharing my knowledge with others.

Take care everyone and their legless pets!
