Heres a story some can relate to. Quite often someone will tell me how they are going to raise up their ball pythons and breed them in 1 year. heres a project I started 3 years ago. both pastels are also 100% het. orange ghost. they both are mouse eaters only. both have taken 3-4 months off of feeding at different times. they both cost a ton of money to purchase, and I worried all the time if they ever were going to put the weight on to breed. well all the snakes in this project are plenty big for breeding. I will soon see if its gonna happen. these can produce super pastel orange ghosts, pastel ghosts, super pastels, orange ghosts and pastels. all in the same clutch. so to say im excited is a bit of an understatement! luckly I have 2 het. orange ghost females that are up to breeding size also. next time someone tells you that you can get a bp up to breeding size in no time, just laught.
