Jungle Pastel Ball Python

Through out the month of December I kept on putting him in with her but nothing ever happened. My Graziani line Cinnamon Pastel was breeding like crazy so not wanting to lose a year with the Female Pastel Jungle I decided to breed him to her. I figured the worst-case scenario would be I would produce some Pastel Jungles, or maybe some Cinnamons and if I was really lucky maybe a Pewter Pastel. Hey, things could be a lot worse right? The first night I put my Male Graziani line Cinnamon Pastel in with her here is what I saw.

Once the Pastel Jungle Male got going I never used the Cinnamon Pastel Male again. I was still determined to try to produce a Super Pastel but if some how she was retaining sperm from the Cinnamon Pastel, so be it.
I have read numerous times about Female Ball Pythons "Laying Cold" but was not really sure what it meant. On 2/10/05 I was getting ready to offer some food to those who where still eating and I noticed this.
