Just wondering the different time frame from introduction to seeing the ovulation. What is the shortest and longest wait before you saw ovulation?

I seem to have all my boas on the same schedule. I intriduced the males to the females in Mid Sept. Early for me this year as I normally wait until November but decided to try to be a bit early this season. All of my female boas went through a shed in late october/early November and have now gone through their second shed (except for two that are in blue now) within the last two weeks. I actually think that it was two different ovulation periods with two different POS sheds with the most darkening on the second. The snakes also went through two distinct breeding activity cycles where inbetween ovulations they seemed to settle down from breeding, took a feeding break, and then started up breeding again a couple of weeks later. I guess I will know more on who took and who did not, but right now it is looking pretty good (knocking on all the wood I can find!)
Thanks
