I think some people (read that most people) introduce too early too. Not just pythons but everything. For some species it is not a big deal but for very aggressive breeders like king snakes for instance, it can severly stress the female if she is not ready to breed and he is. I think there is soooooo much fine tuning of breeding left to be done at this point. Most people get eggs and call it a success but I feel we owe it to our captives to try to work out how to reduce their stress as much as we can.



Then again, adding the male and then removing him to early is probably more stressful, and just think of the damage to the poor girls ego when he wines and dines and then never comes back to seal the deal. HAHAHAHA
