    Welcome to BP.net

    1. Female needs to be at least 1600g
    2. Most begin introducing end of Oct. or earlier
    3. Pair for 2-3 days then give male a rest for 3 days
    Check out what's available at

    OR! you could actually provide a constructive post people come to forums to ask questions not direct someone to google with a witty post (And I'm sure you think it is.)

    I'm sorry I can't give you any experience in this area as I don't have any it just really irks me when someone replies with a useless post.

    Professional links providing you with detailed information and help is better than "stories".

    Make sure your spider and normal are proper size for breeding
    Females- 1600 grams+
    Males- 700+

    Try reading the links provided to you until somone posts you with a "Storie".

    Good luck,
    payson!

    Storie? You mean Story? You could read how to breed a ball python over and over but it's peoples personal experiences or your own that you will truly learn from. I read all I could about popping ball pythons but until I saw someone actually do it. There are some things that text just cant teach.

    Also I'm pretty sure that 500g's or more is fine for a male. Just make sure you don't over exhaust him and hopefully he will continue to eat while pairing.

    Females its probably better to wait till 1500+ grams or their third winter.
