Breeding Season?
This will be my first time breding ball pythons, I've never bred any reptile. I know that breeding season is just around the cornrer but my question is when does everyone start pairng the males with the females?

I was not planning on cooling as I hear some breeders say it's just a waste of time. Thanks all for your help guess i'll start pairing in OCT. One other question once you pair how long do you keep the pair together and when you seperate how long do you keep them seperate, is their some kind of cycle that you use?

Re: Breeding Season?
I live in FL so cooling is really not a issue at all bc of my ac etc. I actually had my vanilla and normal female pairing up till about a month ago. She just got out of her prelay shed, so I'm waiting for the 30 days for the eggs.
My distributor says that a good marker is Thanksgiving. Thats when he starts his pairing. I started late this year (I started pairing in Jan.), about 3 weeks ago I had my first clutch ever which were het ghosts. Depending on where you live, your temperature conditions inside your house, you might be able to breed sooner or later than the actual breeding season. Just depends.
I did do the three days on and three days off. If they were locking up continuely passing the 3 days on, I would keep them in there until it looked like there was no more interest. Good luck  
1.0 Pewter BP, 0.1 Pastel BP, 0.4 Regular BP, 1.0 Ghost BP, 1.1 Yellow Belly BP, 1.0 Vanilla BP, 0.1 Lemon Bumble Bee BP , 1.0 Pinestripe BP, 0.1 het ghost BP, 1.0 het albino BP, 0.1 Lesser Platinum, 0.1 Angolian BP cross, 0.1 Albino BP, 0.1 Spider BP
