In my small amount of experience and from what I have heard. Ball pythons pretty much have their own individual schedules. They breed, ovulate, feed, shed, whenever they want. I have heard of females becoming gravid shortly after breeding then I have heard of females being bred and not producing that season and ovulate the following season without being with a male by retaining sperm. There definitely is no set schedule or guarantee with ball pythons.
