Just getting started breeding Ball Pythons (this will be 2nd breeding season), and was wondering what some of your thoughts on keeping a girl breeding for multiple years in a row.

Currently I have 4 big normal girls that I bred last season (3 layed, 1 re-absorbed), that I'm trying to breed again this year. They are all 1800g+, with the biggest being well over 2500g.

I had planned on giving these four girls next season off, but after talking to a couple people, I'm kind of leaning towards letting them breed again next year if they're up to size. I have also heard quite a few people saying it should be 1 year on, 1 year off.

I have 3 other normal girls and a couple het and co-dom girls that should be up to size next year (if the BP gods permit), but like normal, the more girls in breeding, the more babies.

Thoughts?
