Whats the smallest you'd breed?

[mischevious21]

I've been thiking about breeding my 15200g female this season (starting late), and my male pastel- but I'm not too sure about it.. He's only 350g's- which to me seems pretty small, so I'm about 99% sure that I'm going to wait untill next year...

But I'm curious, whats the smallest you personaly have bred or would breed? For a male- females I wouldent even consiter breedinh untill she's at 1500g. But I am curious, because Ive noticed some people on here breeding smaller males.

Some input?

Yea, after reading that thread I think I will I'll put them together probably the week after next, let them both eat a bit more and relax (I just gave them new hides and to them it's like a whole new world, lol), and make sure that their not stressed.. Then I'll put him in with her and see what happens!! I'll let you all know- and youll DEFINATLY know if theres a lock!!

Now that I've settled that, with the help of all of you- thanks - now on to the incubator.. Though Ive trusted myself to build a rack, I do NOT trust myself to make an incubator, so any suggestions? I've heard these are good :http://www.bigappleherp.com/Hovabato...2&category=28# but I would like to hear some peoples personal oppinionos on it, and other types and brands.
Please and thanks

Hovabators are made to incubate chicken eggs. Some folks have used them with success, but I've read of many more failures than successes.

I'm at work, so I don't have access to all my DIY incubator links. Hopefully others can answer those questions for you.

So what have you been feeding that 33 lb female ball python?

Lol, I assume you really mean something like 1,500 grams. I'd give her a try unless she is exceptionally long and thin for her frame.

There's a lot of zero's in those grams!
