Female Ovulation

[DC Reptiles]

With my '05 normal female showing signs of ovulation should I have a male in there with her anymore? I had my piebald male in with her for only a week and never once saw them breed, this was probably about a month ago. I didn't think anything had happened.

If you are sure that you saw an ovulation, she is done all you have to do is wait for the Pre-Lay Shed in about 14 days and Egg Laying about 30 days after that.

However according to your timeline (a month since single pairing) you might not be witnessing an OVI but rather something else hard to tell since I have not seen the snake for myself and do not know if your female really ovulated.

Do you have a picture of her "Ovulation"

I didn't take a picture, but she's been laying inverted around her water bowl and on the cool side.

If it's only been a month I would guess she's building and you need to keep pairing
Good luck

I would keep pairing until its clear that shes not locking anymore. When you notice that they are primarily staying on opposite sides of the tub, not "snuggling" anymore; etc. shes most likely done. I kept my male in and out until her pre shed just to make sure. But it was my first time and I work a lot so I just noticed what I could. It doesn't hurt to keep pairing.
