breeding question!!

[papaK]

hey i'm about to start my first season with ball pythons and i have a question. how many times should i introduce my male to my females? reason i'm asking is because my buddy and i have a joint project and i have to move my females back to college me when my christmas break ends. I want to know how many times and for how long i should put the male with my females. thanks a bunch.

I start cooling October 1st. I drop temps slow November 1st i start paring up my males and females. I put them together on a Monday and leave them together for the week. Friday I take the male out and put him back in his tub. Let them rest all day Friday and Saturday. Sunday i try to feed if they eat I don't put them back together till Tuesday or Wednesday 2 days rest. i do this till March 1st or till I know female has eggs.
