Sorry for no replys people, i totally forgot all about this one i made so here is what i can recall of whats been happening...
Childrens pythons:
Childrens are competely left alone at present because i would like to have a few more eggs like last year. there temperatures have stayed roughly the same and the basics have been going on like cleaning the enclosures, changing the water etc etc etc.as you guys know i have recently obtained some bredli's, well, due to needing warm temperatures etc i had the enclosure very warm (in a plastic tub) and the heat cord melted the bottom. because i have been cooling the snakes i moved the bredlis into the childrens pythons tank and the childrens into the bredlis tank. so no, im going to need a new enclosure sooner then expected. also due to winter being alot warmer then summer this yea, they have been comming out alot more and basking in the afternoon sun that hits there enclosure.
Spotted pythons
basically the same as the childrens pythons except for the moving around and that my male spotted python got a respetary infection and the tempratures had to then be raised back up to how i usually have them. Without the help of Daniel Gilbertson my male spotted would not be here...Thanks a million mate!

May 21st...
childrens pythons:
very angry little bugers!i got tagged by the female by changing the water and cleaning the tank!
have been obsevered mating 3 times...have been tucked away alot and have not come out of hide at all, except when i had to change the substrate etc...
temps lowered to final 20*C and will stay on until about July when all lights, heat is turned off...
spotted pythons:
all temps lowered to 20*C, they should start to understand that its time to be cooled and must go to sleep...however, male doesn't seem to want to be part of the cooling cycle...not sure what will happen with him yet!
water and substrate changed.

Childrens pythons:
observed mating another 3 times. temperature lowered to 25*C. female soaked in water dish for about 15 min. temperatures were also brought back up becasue male needed another feed, did not seem to be interested so gave the meal to the female.
spotted pythons:
temperatures brought up to 28*C due to male always sitting on the light globe. i thought he may be stressed by the cooling affect. female seems to be happily cooling down however. water was changed and a few here and theres were cleaned up! no mating had been observed.

April 27th
childrens pythons:
since the 17th, the childrens pythons have been seen mating 3 times. male had also been seen gently biting female on the back, no aggression was shown.
a change of substrait and water was made on the 20th. a temperature change was made from 32*C to 26*C.
Spotted pythons:
since the 17th the spotted pythons have not been seen mating, hopefully they have been however! the snakes have been apart (they are still in the enclosure) every time i have looked. the male is obviously trying to keep warm on the light cage but female seems to be happily going to the "hibernation" stage.
substrate change and water change was made on the 20th. temperatures were changed from 30*C to 25*C

Spotted pythons:
had to be separated due to a fight. female was separated for 2 days until being re-introducted to the male, no mating had occurred, or at least not been seen.
Childrens pythons:
male childrens python was fed due to light weigh. female was separated to stop any fights happening. mating was observed on Tuesday the 15Th, which lasted 23 min, (reason i put date in because i thought maybe sometime in April snakes might have a longer time the breed or something similar)

snakes observed mating. i waited until i noticed the males out and about and then i:
changed the water (as done in between the first post and this post)
cleaned up any mess, poos, spilt water
fed each snake a small mouse!
later that day i turned off lights (due to weather)...snakes observed again mating
children's pythons lasted about 12 min and spotted pythons about 7 min

April 1st
winter has hit. all snakes are fed 1 large fuzzy rat and enclosures are cleand and re furnished. each enclosure is simplified from having logs etc around the enclosure and rocks etc, to each enclosure having 2 hides, (a small cave and a ice cream container with a small entry way cut) a water bowl and somesort of way of a basking spot (small flate rock, bark etc).
enclosure (for children's pythons) is currently at 32*C
enclosure (for spotted pythons) is currently at 30*C
all heat mats are turned off and heat lights are left. heating is set to 25*C and instead of 8hour day lenghts, they have 7 hour day lenghts.
