Dan,
. Your English is fine and that is a great Picture. The problem is that we do not know for sure what is the right answer to your questions. IMO, the more they mate the better the chances of producing babies, which BTW are born alive. It is difficult to tell when BRBs ovulate. I watch mine fairly closely and only very rarely have I seen a noticeable ovulatory lump. I have had about 90 litters of BRBs and have seen them mate several hundred times but have only seen a dozen or so big ovulatory lumps. The exact sequence of breeding and ovulating seems to be variable. With most boids it is thought that ovulation occurs after the female has been with males and/or has been bred by them. I had one female BRB that I was not sure was mature develop a big ovulatory lump before she was ever placed with a male BRB. I put a male in with her as soon as I saw the lump and he was on her within minutes. She had a good litter 5.5 months later. The best information about boid reproduction is in the book "The Reproductive Husbandry of Pythons and Boas". The information about specific species breeding has become outdated but the book has loads of information about how boid reproduction works. This book, more than any other information led the way to much boid breeding success.
