Diamond mating question

[ratsnakeroger]

Guys just posting for a friend as he and myself are unsure what is the procedure regarding Mating Diamond Pythons? What time of year do you stop feeding? What temps do you drop the enclosure to if any? What time of year do you introduce each snake together? Which Snake would you place in Male into female enclosure or Female into Male Enclusure? And if there are any other handy hints that people may have which would encourage your snakes to Mate with each other.
thanks Roger

I'm sorry that I can't help you Roger as I am only relatively new to this and have not had the experience of breeding as yet. However these are fair questions and surely the experienced ppl out there can help. TrueBlue, Pilbara, etc....

Stop feeding 2 weeks before cooling, making sure they defecate first.

Start cooling between june - aug.

Introduce the male to the female at this time.
Continue re-introducing on & off again (a few days together & 1-2 apart) untill copulation is observed than leave them together as they will continue mating frequently. Once no further interest is shown by the female, or ovulation has been observed you can seperate them...

I adjust my heating on a monthly basis to correspond with natural enviorment. I give a daytime temp, nighttime temp & a photo-period.

During the cooler months I use 5 hrs heat & day light with 19 hrs cooler temp & darkness.

Winter temps:
Jun 24 & 16*
Jul 20 & 16*
Aug 24 & 18*
