How many times do you let a pair of snakes mate before the female lays? My Bloodred and Blizzard hooked-up again last night so that would be twice in four days...how many more times should i let them mate?
This may sound like a dumb question but I'd like to get a general idea of how often they should mate. Also this is my only female that will double-clutch.

i usually let them breed 3 times. but this year only once or twice since i'm using one male on many females to see if he is extremely fertile.... he is my best breeder, but also the youngest.
