Females attitude after ovulation?

[dr del]

Hi,

There was a thread on this quite recently but I seem to have had almost exactly the opposite experience.

My snakes are all sweethearts with only the occasional hiss of complaint most of the year - aside from my big girl who is a nervous nellie and tend to jerk her head back at the slightest movement.

But I have noticed that after the ovulation mine all seem to become so placid as to be virtually comatose.

Even the big scaredy-cat doesn't even react now when I open the tub, lift the paper and stroke her back to see if the spine is raised.

Is this a common thing during breeding or is it simply because they now get checked twice a day at a minimum and are now more used to my paternal fussing?

Mine tend to be sluggish, but they're all prone to hiss when I pick them up. I don't think they're very comfortable.
