Hey Coolio! I just paired MY normals yesterday too for the first time! Lets hope everything works out! We can have a "clutch off" of our firsties when they all hatch out.
Good luck.
Quick question, what kind of enclosure are you keeping them in? Mine tend to hide in separate hides all the time......will they do their business at night?

every snake is different. I keep mine in tubs. the tub size depends on the size of the snake but i have an albino male that if u put him with a female he will instantly get to work and work her over same goes for my pastel.Then there are the males that take a day or so in the tub to get there thing going. I guess some just got game and some need to drink so to speak a lil to get that extra edge hahah

Thanks everyone I appreciate the comments!! They have been locking up like crazy and it's kind of cool to just see my first two Ball pythons breeding and soon my very first Ball python will be giving me a clutch.

Haha you're on!
I'm keeping mine in Sterilite tubs. They normally do their business all through the day when they aren't disturbed. Take the hides out of the enclosure because it will get in their way of doing their business (from what I was told--thanks Rich!). But remember to take the male out to rest for a few days. I'm doing 3 days in 3 days out.

Alrighty, update:
SO my first male, who is pretty large, was not getting his lock on, so he lost his lady to a younger man, my 08. Since the two have been together it has been one long lock-tastic time. He is going to definitely need a rest in a few days the way he is going.
So I am already a day behind you on the lock........shoot. I think this guy knows we are losing though, so he is givin' all he's got.

I felt some follicles in my female.

I'm confused....

I don't know I'm starting to feel follicles in her. They are kinda small though, I felt about 3-4 of them. I guess Monty really did his business well

If she has been on feed still you could be feeling whatever is in her digestive system.

Hope all goes well good luck.
