    Agreed. Ball pythons are solitary animals who do best in their own enclosure.

    If she is a baby, it will be a few years before she is ready to breed. You need to quarantine her for 60 days. And give her, her very own enclosure. As stated bps are solitary creatures, and need to be housed separately.

    Re: question

    Well she probably will not breed until next year, all BP's need their own enclosure, the only exception is breeding season and then the male is rotated, he is not left in the same enclosure throughout the breeding season.

    Re: question

    i think you need to do some more research on breeding. i have been researching ball pythons for a while now and i still dont know alot. theres alot more to learn than you think. so please do reasearch. i seen people get into the hobby and become frustrated because nothing is working then they give up everything and get out of the hobby. its not fun that way. learn all you can and enjoy the hobby.
