"Q1. Do you guys introduce while still cooling or do you introduce after you start to warm things up again?"
I normal introduce during the warm up.
"Q2. Do you seperate males and female after introducing for a couple days, and if you do, is this to give males a rest or is it because they get too familar with each other? If it is because they get too familar with each other, is it then ok to introduce the male to another female, never giving the male a rest."
Yes, this gives the male time to rest and when reintroduced will be ready and willing to breed again. I would probably give the male a few days before introducing him to another female.
"When do you see the most active breeding, after cooling, before cooling or after warming the enclosures back to normal?"
Normally the will breed from the warm up till meid spring or until they ovulate.
"Q4. If you had 8 adult females and 3 adult males( 1 male being quite fat), what would you recommend me do, so as all females get enough exposure to the males. I was thinking i could house the females in pairs and hit 2 birds with one stone so to speak."
Just rotate all three males with all eight girls. This would give you better odds in case one of your males doesn't do the job.
"Q5. When the males are repeatedly introduced then taken away and then introduced again, wouldnt this stress him out, and if it does, will his mating urges decrease somewhat?"
No, I don't think it stresses them. I believe seperation actually increases activity. ----- www.moreliapythons.com
