Thanks for the quick replies everyone, this site is great! I'll pull him again and then wait until next month to introduce him again. Once they are locking, how many months does it typically take before he gets the job done and then it's just a matter of waiting for eggs? Is there an actual time frame or is it just based on when the female ovulates? I guess even after all the reading I've done, I still don't quite understand how the female pythons cycle works or at least the time frame and how often it happens.
