    Help with pairing.

    Just a quick post to see what the bp.net community thinks. I am just starting into ball python breeding and only have 3 males and 1 female that are ready to breed this year. The males are 1 lesser, 1 mojave, 1 spider 66% het axantic (vpi line). The female is just a normal around 1500 grams. What do you think would be my best option this year for breeding. I was thinking of just focusing on one of these males to hopefully get the job done. Thanks for the comments......

    I would focus on the one you want to get the job done and if he fails after a couple of months then switch boys if needed.

    It really depends upon what your future projects might be and what you have coming up ready to breed in the next few years. Given that, if those were my only snakes, I'd just rotate the lesser and mojave through. Those have a little higher value than the spider. Also, by rotating two males through if one doesn't get the job done the other should. I normally cycle two males through females when I don't see the first male lock.
