    Come here little guy. You're awfully cute and fluffy but unfortunately for you, you're made of meat

    Re: How do you breed balls

    If you've never bred snakes before, make sure you do a LOT of research before even trying!

    Breeding ball pythons is more than just sticking a male with a female. It's tricky and can be full of disappointments. There's a lot to learn and a lot to prepare for, and even then it might not work out. I've been preparing to breed my snakes for 2 years now...and I still don't feel ready.

    Once you've researched and gotten everything you need, the 8ball guide is a good one. There are also some good books out there, and many threads on these forums. Just search for 'breeding'.

    Re: How do you breed balls

    I started with alot of research and followed it up with twice as much patience. I didn't mean to sound condescending, but your question is very vague. One could write an entire book about the details that can and do revolve around breeding Ball Pythons. Do some research, read some of the links that have been posted, and when that is finished, come back to this thread with some specific questions, and plenty of people will be more inclined to tackle a less daunting task.

    Lol i just take mine and rub them together. Then a few months later eggs magically appear. Oh how i wish it was that simple. Theres usually alot of headachs involved and nights of lost sleep. It sure is a bunch of fun though. Just like some other people have said already. Do some reseach and then come back with some more specific questions and will be happy to help.
