Ok, lets start with what I DO know....
Sometime after cooling, females snakes ovulate if they wish to breed this year.
The follicles develop for 1-3 months before ovulation
If you are lucky, you can see them ovulate (lumping)
Only mating prior to ovulation are any good

What i want to know is:
How long after warming and introduction do they usually ovulate?

I have a trio of water who have been together for about 5weeks now.
One appears to possibly be gravid, the other not.
I was thinking of seperating them today and leaving things where they are.
Today I witnessed 2 matings which, from what I have read and been told indicates that the female who was mating has probably not ovulated yet.
Any body give me an idea how long please?
