This is bad all around. Firstly, 1500 grams is usually the norm. Secondly, why stop feeding them? Females want to put on MORE weight as they build for eggs. You'll get poor results from this.
The second one is questionable because it mentions dropping the night down to the low to mid 70's as well as the day temps to the mid to high 80's. Neither need to be done. I and along with many others, simply drop the night temps a few degrees for the winter.

I was not surprised by a naturally occurring process, i was surprised because i was told that they were both males and had been kept in the same viv since birth and that i had no reason to separate them. Now thanks to this forum they might both still be males or I might have a beautiful female. I might be an in-experienced reptile keeper, but I was not surprised that they "locked" I was surprised by the gender of my snakes.

You should get them properly sexed instead of hoping for eggs. Males will lock with males.

I NEVER take anyone's word for what my snakes are. I have it proved outright.

I posted those sites not on "how to breed" more than on "how long it takes" and sometimes "how to tell if females are gravid"
