So far ive seen my ball pythons copulating twice, and considering I dont see them that often they have probably done it more than that. Im just wondering how long i should leave them together or how long i CAN leave them together.

I cycle mine 3 days in 4 days out. Every time I put them back together they lock up pretty quick. This is my method and I am sure somebody else has a better or may efficient way of breeding.

You CAN leave them together for a month or two, but I would recommend taking the male out after he's done. It sounds like you're only breeding the one male to the single female, I would leave the male in for 3 or 4 days and then take him out for a few days, and try feeding them both every week or so. Any extra food you can get in your female is good. Don't neglect to feed your male too, it's hard work doing what he's doing for 12-24 hours straight.Good luck.
