    Have you left them together since they locked? How long have they been together? And they do take breaks. Mine do then I take the male out and feed him and wait a day or two then re introduce him and then it is a go again. You could try whipping sperm plugs from a different male on the females back and them putting him back in.

    Yeah a recommended time together is either 2-3 days together then the same apart. And try feeding when you have them seperated. I do 3 in and 3 out and feed the day I remove the male that way they have time to digest before getting back to the deed. Just make sure at some point in the breeding season you give both males and females atleast a full week off from breeding. Lets them build back up energy and stamina! LOL Good luck

    Uh Oh...you're in trouble now. The QT police are gonna be all over yah.

    Here are a few tricks. Go find a good link to keeping a breeding Ball Pythons(somebody find one BG is lazy) from a reputable breeder and do that. You got them and just threw them together? You're lucky they're Ball Pythons....that can work...you'd be better off properly "cycling" them though.

    If you just got them a week ago like you said, you couldn't have properly cycled them.

    Big Gunns wouldn't worry about it yet though...... it hasn't been long enough to pull out the tricks. The "tricks" the BG is hesitant to reveal.
