This is my female Woma, she was paired with the male last year. They bred and bred and she swelled up, but nothing!

So I'll pair them up again and see what happens this year....

Any tips?

That's a hot female there Scott...Did you cool them at all? I'm cooling mine a little lower this year and for longer...Woma's will breed just to breed - From my limited experience breeding this guys and from what other Woma breeders say is it's in the cooling...I did have 1 female from last year do about the same thing as your describing - I swore she was gravid...I blamed it on the female only being 18 months old...Their all 2 1/2 years old now - Should be fun...

Thanks Bro!

Yeah, I was positive she was gravid.... she was also probably 18 months or a little older. She's right about where yours are, 2 1/2 years old.... maybe a little older

For cooling, I just unplugged the rack at night.... and then back on in the morning. How low were you letting the temps get and for how long did you do this. Any info would be great! :)

I keep all mine in 41 quart racks right beside my BP's...I gave them the same treatment as the BP's...They all bred but it wasn't the long drawn out lock-up's like BP's...I quite turning off the heat in late Dec...The ambient room temp at night is around 65F I would guess...This year I'm going to keep cutting the heat off at night...The one clutch I did get came early - Just like the Carpets...Ovulated in late Jan. I believe...I just kept pairing them up like all my other Pythons till she ovulated...The Woma's stressed me out last year...LOL

I think the room temp was down to around 70F.... they were bred in 41's also. I'll just try it all over again this year and see how frustrating it is again.... LOL

Good luck with them, my male is lonely...lol
