I find it really hard to understand you haven't had any locks ever, something must be very wrong for that to happen. You don't specify when you pair your snakes. Is there a certain time of year you try, or have you tried at different times of the year to see if that was the reason ?

I understand what works for someone else may not work for you, so I hope we can help you figure this out.

well I have just being doing it continuously all year long because I didn't know when it was going to happen since I had the temps the same all year long.
