Hi everyone!! This is my first season as a, hopefully, breeder. I have a couple of questions maybe you can help with.
First of all, I was wondering, how long is the sperm viable? If you see your snakes locking and you separate them after, for how many days is that lock useful?

Second of all, if you saw your snakes locking but you missed the ovulation, because you didn't know how to spot one..., so you keep pairing, but after a while they stop locking, is that a good sign?

Third, what happens with food? after they snakes stop locking, should you keep offering food? If the snakes don't eat, is that a good sign? if they snakes DO eat, is that a bad sign?


And, lastly, if the snakes won't lock again, but you haven't see a shed yet...what should you do? keep trying?


Thank you all for your help and patience.
