Python Breeding

[Ryan Pye]

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knows how long a male pythons sperm stays alive after copulation. My Pythons are together now and have been on and off from November. they have copulated a bunch of times, I witnessed a few mtself. Theywere both cycled properly, but it just doesn't seem like they are interested in breeding anymore, I want to know - when she ovulates will the eggs still get fertilized? Just learning.

Thanks Ryan

Sorry, Burms - I get a little nervous because of the sensitivity of breeding them
