[QUOTE]My point is, there are always going to be exceptions and its easy to start to get obsessed if everything doesn't go by the book. Every year there are a zillion threads of people posting "ZOMG!! She shed 31 days ago, I thought she was supposed to lay 30 days after her shed?!?!?!! So long as they're healthy, just let them do their thing. They've had plenty of time to perfect, you are just there to shepherd it through the process./QUOTE]

I agree with most of whats been said especially this. Most people freak out thinking they have to constantly breed their snakes, and everyone has their own way of breeding but I learned from and big breeder that it doesn't matter how many times you breed your snakes. I go by the system of making sure what ever female Im breeding gets bred by a male once a month. They retain the sperm for a long time so breeding them over and over and over again isn't going to increase your chances. If they are ready they will go if not they wont. The problem comes when people aren't patient breeding is a long processes easily over 6 months just to get eggs so the best advice would be to relax and not stress out.
