how to get ball pythons to lock up

[Freakie_frog]

The male het is 2008 950 grams the female is 2008 1350 grams. What are some things I can do to get them to lock up? I have a normal male thats about to shed and I've heard you can like put the shed in the females cage so the male like gets jealous? What else can I do to get these guys going?

First of all deep breath.

Not seeing locks this early isn't uncommon. Keep pairing them up..there are animals that take months or even years before they breed in captivity. Be patient and know that while a 1350 3 year old female can breed doesn't mean she will.. I have heard of females taking 4-5 years (i have one) before they breed..

Best of luck.
