Last year I noticed a peak in ceiling activity of multiple pythons in the Northern Rivers region around October. (the peak of the peak -for me- was the dramatic extraction of a python love knot: 2 males and a female, which fell through a ceiling onto the living room floor, to the consternation of its two homeowners, around mid-October)
This year, spring seems to have sprung us some unseasonably hot days strung together, and I have had anecdotal evidence that some females are sloughing and heading back up to ceilings, leaving their pheremonal trail for passing males along the ground, up the side wall of the house, and into the ceiling boudoir.
My question: is this within the range of the experience of other forum participants? Can the mating season kick off this early? Is it largely triggered by a spate of warm days and if these come earlier than October (as early as first week of September in this case) will that suffice to trigger mating behviour?
Thanks for your considered responses.
