Prelay shed

[alejandrosantana0420]

Hey guys I was wondering how long after a female ball python mates does it shed thanks in advanced

[Dave Green]

There isn't really a set amount of time, it can take a couple months or many months. I stopped breeding months ago and I'm still getting ovulations here and there.

Wow thank you so much the reason I ask is because I just bought a pinstripe yesterday and the guy told me she might be carrying and today I wake up and she had shed he told me he mate her almost month ago so I was just wondering if that was her preshed

Prelay sheds happen after ovulation - not after simply pairing. The problem is neither you nor us know if she ovulated a couple of weeks ago.

Here's a good article on how the breeding process works: Breeding Pictorial by Mark Mandic
