Macklot's breeding question

[operation_sssss]

Hi all,
Does anyone breed macklot's on here? i was just after a quick bit of info my macklot's have been copulating and were seperated 3-4 weeks ago, the female is now in shed would this be the pre-ovulation shed?? If so should i expect any eggs and after what sort of time period?? Just wanna bang a nest box in, just in case with fingers crossed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated hope everyone is well
Cheers will

Scotty and Les of Belly draggers breed them, they might see your post.
It's a bit late in the season for breeding.
Breeding usually occurs during cool nights in winter, with eggs coming in late spring, and hatching around now.
Female pythons get very noticably big when they are gravid.
The also sit upside down alot and that is one huge positive indication of gravid pythons.. They also usuallly go off their food once they are heavily gravid.
If she doesn't look huge, and isn't doing the belly up thing, and is still eating, then I wouldn't be expecting any eggs

Hi roy, thanks for your info mate, was only a little worried/excited as previous owner used to house them together, witnessed loads of copulating however thought nothing of it as he never cooled them but ended up with 13 eggs laid. Just wanted to be prepared, once again thanks for your info
Cheers Will
