Okay its my first year breeding! I have a proven female that i picked up at a show about 6 months ago and she was eating like a champ! About a month ago however she stopped eating. After about two weeks of refusing meals i read that it could be a sign that she is ready to breed.

so i paired her up and a lock within hours! After they separated i rested and fed the male but she refused again. Just last night i paired them again and they are locked as i write this.

My question is if this is normal or should i be worried. Like i said i read that some ball pythons go off of feed when they breed. But i have looked for information and timing of a breeding fast and i cant find anything. Iam just worried that without food she will bot produce folicles or viable eggs.

thanks for reading open to any suggetions or advice..... She was 2400 grams before the first refuseal and hasent ate in about a month
