To be honest, I do not see much in the way of actual copulation. Lots of courting and such but hardly see actual locks. I have gotten eggs from every hognose pairing so far. I do not removethe male until the female is visually gravid. It is very obvious when a female is gravid.
Females have a good way of letting males know they are not ready to copulate (lots of tail flicking and hissing) and for the most part, they get the hint. Most ales will try hard even if the female is not receptive but will stop their advances after a few days. Once the female is receptive, the male will know and start courting again.
My snakes are paired up as soon as they are out of brumation Pairs an be together for a month or 2 before the female is receptive. Most of my males want nothing to do with food until they are paired with a female.
Hope this helps.
