First questions is do you want little snakes?

If the answer is yes then keep them together for about a week. I keep my breeding pairs together for about a week then I seperate them for a week then put them back together. The breck gives them a breather so you don't burn out the male.

If the its no then seperate them assuming the one is a male he will try again till he tires.

If it was a male and she indeed got pregnant she will shed before ovulation this will be totally random. Due to the fact that the feale can store the seed. It will most likely occur in a few weeks but can be sooner or much later. Best bet is to record this date.

If it is indeed the preovulation shed she will soon swell during ovulation and will also not take food as willing which is ok.

Most likely 105 days after the preovulation shed the femal if pregnant will pop out the we ones although the date is not set in stone it will be around that time.

Keep the temps normal during this time and be prepared. Your story reminds me of how Jeff Ronne got started and look where he is today. There is also a lot of info on the net that will give you some help.

Good Luck
Jeremy
