Breeding possibly this season?
Hey Everyone,
Congrats on all of the successful clutches! Hopefully I will be able to pair my het albinos this season! I would like to know every breeders opinion.
My het. albino female was hatched aug 05 and is 1,000 grams. This will be her third winter, but she is not 3 yrs yet, so I don't know if that is a problem? I have been reading a bunch of material on this subject, including Adam's(8ball) breeding calendar.
To Adam: You stated in Aug you start your females on a heavier feeding schedule, could you elaborate a little more on this for me? Like exactly what you do? Thanks man
Now in anyones experience, have you been able to successfully get a 1000g female to breedable size from now in time for the season?
Thanks all,
Jordan

Re: Breeding possibly this season?
You might be able to get her to weight by January or February but for me, any snake still at 1000 grams now, I am not counting on for this season (or at least for early in the season). For me (and I believe for Adam), I start feeding the breeder girls an extra prey item each week if they will take it (and if they need it). Hope this helps and I am sure you'll get other opinions as well!

Re: Breeding possibly this season?
Just curious what you guys would consider "extra" for my girl... Adult female, approx. 1375g right now, and won't touch anything but live mice. She's getting 2 adults per week right now.

My adult females are getting 4-5 adult mice right now(normally they get 3 or so). It equals up to being about 2 small rats I think. If I remember, I'll weigh a mouse next time I feed everyone. Big Cheese Rodents grow some big mice, LoL.

Well that sounds good. I will up her food each week. I plan on breeding her around Feb. so hopefully it will work out.
