Ovulation is really hard to catch, Cornboy. Unless you physically *see* it, you may never know it happened.

I offer food while gravid, but the females do not always take it.

I try and limit handling of gravid females as much as I can, especially if the snake is squirmy. No sense risking damage to the young.

Any time. Confused, however: I thought you were not planning on breeding yet?

Most breeders run a short cooling session, after which they introduce the snakes. I've heard, however, that it may not be essential to the process.
