Here is an article that was featured in a Reptiles Australia magazine

I personally believe people get way to in depth in learning to breed snakes, womas are a reasonably easy python to breed, for the first 2-3 years ( I no it can be around 18 months but for newbies probably easier to wait a bit longer as most new keepers underfeed there reptiles *imo*) once there big enough around april start the cooling process then around may put them together, some times they will mate non stop, other times its best to try one week on, one week off.

Hope that helps a little

cheers guys
when you say cool them in april then introduce them in may....do i raise the temp before introducing them or leave them at the same temp.....
i dont plan to breed for a couple of seasons but want to know as much as i can before attempting it ....cheers
