    Re: First (2nd?) time breeder question.

    Just make sure the female and males are up to wieght, your husbandry is correct, you keep feeding until she refuses, and keep pairing until you witness ovulation or until she is noticeably gravid and refusing males. Keep pairing and keep pairing. If the condition of the snakes is good as well as your husbandry they will take care of the rest. Just to get some perspective, I started pairing last year in sept and just had a clutch hatch last week, so it may take a while, just dont give up too soon on pairing them. If shes still eating and still locking, keep pairing until she starts glowing and goes off feed, then watch for that ovy. Good luck to you this year Keep in mind, not all females breed during the "so called" breeding season. I have a female about to lay anyday now. Some go in the winter, some in summer, some in fall, it doesnt matter they are all on their own schedules. Once I know when those particular females went their first time I base my breeding of them accordingly in the following years.
