They were like this from about 1pm till i left at 5pm and when i got home at 1am they had moved a bit but were still 'together' I read that copulation can last several hours but 12? Anything I should be concerned about, others experiences ? thanks

No, the longer they are together will not increase the amount of eggs. It may increase the number of fertile eggs though.

Females produce a set amount of eggs each breeding season and matings have nothing to do with this amount.

My male is actually bred by you and is a great snake. I bought from a guy who works at taronga. I checked on them this morning all is well, the female had defecated. Is that usual after a mating? Maybe she had enough and wanted him outta there ?

just to confirm what biguy said i have seen animals copulating once for a few hours and then produced big clutches.
interestingly i noticed most of the lengthy copulations up here occur in the cooler hours of the morning,2am onwards.i've seen 16 hr matings.
great foto's well done,an exciting time.hell its still exciting even when you've seen a thousand times,good luck.

obee
