Do burms ovulate the same time each year.

Thomas j Feb 16, 2004 07:31 AM

I was wondering if a female burm will ovulate the same time(month)each month. Thanks for the help.

Burmese pythons become READY to ovulate only once per year, generally around the same time from year to year if no significant changes to their husbandry or location take place. But they will not actually ovulate (release the yolked oocytes into the oviduct), as far as is known, unless they breed. And even then, there are no guarantees!
