How introduce Woma pythony for mating?

[PatrickT]

I plan to put my male and female together this weekend. What should i care for? Put male to female or other way around? Put them both in a box so its on neutral ground? Im happy for any tipps. How long let them together?

I find that putting the female in with the male is best.
Doesn't really matter much when males are good breeders but when you put males in with females....shy males will spend severals days making sure the environment is "safe" for breeding and might not breed at all if other males have been in with the female years prior. Females goes in his cage...eliminates that from happening.
I know you don't have to worry about that so much as you don't have anther male .
A little late to be introducing but give it a go.

Thank you.

I have put her into his enclosure and both seems to be excited. Looks good so far. Will keep them together for one or two days, what you say?

Leave them a few weeks. Until you notice a large amount of swelling in your female.

Don't womas typically require brumation to get them ready to breed?

Nah, a slight cool down during winter is enough
