Jaime-

If you are asking for tips then they are pretty much all are going to be the same and the information is very easily attainable from anywhere on the internet. You can check a few of the more well known websites and most have caresheets.

For breeding, it's pretty much the same as any other....a cooling period, followed by a gradual raising of the temperature after which the male and female are introduced, etc etc.

There's nothing 'real quick' that ppl can come on here and share really that hasn't been repeated over and over everywhere.

There's a start in reading up on knowing everything you'd want to know on breeding.

As for personal tips: Keep at it! If you find your snakes not breeding, look around at their environment and try to figure out why they are not comfortable. Humidity? Heat? Too much distraction? Do they maybe prefer Barry White to Al Green?

Good luck, and have fun!

thank you for taking the time to respond, i appreciate it very much.

I've never bred burms specifically, nor do I ever intend to, but with the pythons I do breed, I see a lot of copulation during the cooling period, as well as after the warm up.
I generally cool for 2-3 weeks then begin introductions. I prefer my window of opportunity to be as wide as possible and anytime after cooling has started, if they'll breed I let them and continue to after the warm up until the males lose interest.
