well Dom it's simple... they are HORNY!! Stop being a peeping tom! :p

to be serious for a minute though.. It could just be that you female wasn't/isn't ready yet, thus still producing horomones/pheromons and is going to be a late ovulator. One of my good friends as black pines that are still in the same situation as your bulls.. constant breeding.. no eggs.. it usually takes her until end of may to ovulate.. I don't know what it is, bu my guess is that since they are bigger as neonates a later laying and hatching date doesn't hurt them like it would in smaller colubrids.

cool - very interesting info Renne.. Tx .. Ihope she will ovulate for me!

My incubator is now empty and wansts more eggies in there!

I hope that you have been giving the female a break from the male between breedings. One must remember with aggressive breeders that they do use lots of energy doing so & will need breaks were they can relax, catch a meal & digest it. I know my male Cal-kings are just brutal to the females & I think the females appreciate a break for a few days every week. Your female Bull would probably like the rest also. Good luck with them.
