This is by no means a steadfast schedule to abide by, but it works for me.
On Monday morning, I pair everyone up before I leave for work. I watch for lock ups until Wednesday evening. If I see a pair lock up Monday night and they are done by Tuesday, I seperate them early-otherwise, they stay paired till Wednesday. On Thursday, I feed anyone willing to eat, then I leave them alone until Monday again.
I usually keep breeding until the following:
1-Late February/Early March rolls around
2-The snakes stop showing interest in each other
3-I see building or ovulation.
Some people breed far later into the season-I think it depends on how early you start.
Check the link below for a great tutorial on breeding and time lines.
