This is a terrible way to have a conversation.
JK: You asked a very general question that has caveats and conditions.
Deborah then answer with a correct but WAY over simplified answer.
Perhaps it would work best for everyone, including your snakes, if you did research on the topic you have questions about. I know some people (not necessarily you) get turned off by reading through pages and pages of websites describing the breeding process and how to handle your snakes during that time. So videos seem to be the wave of the future that can provide a ton of information and honestly I prefer them because there are no wordy descriptions, good videos actually show you what they are talking about.
Then there could be an actual conversation about your specific questions if they were not answered in the videos you watched.
So, to get you started on the right foot, and not supply you with an over simplified answer devoid of any information... I like JKobylka's videos and he has a whole series of them on breeding.
I just know they are called pro tips: ball python breeding so that is what I searched and here is the result: JKR Videos
They probably wont all be useful to you ( you probably dont have an ultrasound) but there is a 5 (I think) part series here that has answered a TON of questions for me. I still watch it every year as a refresher.
Because yes, your snakes SHOULD be eating during breeding months, how to be sure they continue to eat may in some cases be a more difficult question that requires planning knowledge.
