I've been in the process of trying to breed my kids (ie ball pythons). Its my 'first time in the ring', if you know what I mean. I had the male and female together for nearly 2 months, started the brumation with them together, then removed the male. I put him back 2 weeks later for a 'reunion', and nothing happened so I removed him again. 2 weeks later, I added our other male to her tank, and the started to lock up almost right away.

For 3-4 days, they switched around positions (saying it was entertaining would just be...weird :P), but stayed 'wrapped'. Now, nearly 2 weeks after the 'locking', none of them will eat, save for the female we didn't try to breed.

When should I start looking for signs of her being gravid, and what should I look for?
