Observed Locks and Female tail wagging?

[manangskie]

Hello everyone, this is my first thread so please bear with me (especially with my english). This is my first year in breeding ball pythons and did a few research about it, but I would like to gain more insights if I am doing things right and also to meet people who have the same interests with me.

My female ball python which is a het. axanthic is already 1800 grams (empty) and I bred her to a Axanthic VPI . I observed two locks from them. I started breeding them last December 10,2014 to be exact. My female used to eat like a monster, and haven't had any moment that she tried refusing it. I always feed her juvenile rats. But recently , she refuse eating those juvenile rats. But when I offered her adult mice, she immediately smack it. I just recently paired them and I think they did the deed again.Is this a good sign or not? From big meals now she wants small sized meals. And I always observed that when I put my male in her tub , she always wags her tail and here is a video for you to see. http://youtu.be/W1gTic9ON-s

Any tips from you guys would highly appreciated.

Three days after an observed lock from them, I caught my female now lying like this

I've read that it usually happens every after successful breeding. But let's wait and see what will happen next.

Should I still continue breeding it with the male or should I stop now?

Still continue , just because they lock does not mean you have eggs on the way, the more times they lock the better chance.

Okay sir , I will continue. Thank you very much.
