When should I do it???

I got another new ball python. She is a massive 2700g normal female with great pattern. She has been cooled and is ready to breed but I have a question. Should I breed her now or wait until next season? She's going to be going with my 700g spider male no matter what but i don't know if I should breed them now or wait. any suggestions??

And I will post pics as soon as i get them(she is in the process of eating).

If she's already been through quarantine and is healthy, I'd say go for it. If it doesn't pan out, there's always next season.

Definitely wait. You want to put her in quarantine for at least 4 weeks just to make sure she doesn't have any health issues that could spread to the rest of your collection. You'll want to observe a couple bowel movements and at least one shed to make sure everything is on the up and up--also keep an eye out for symptoms of upper respiratory infections and/or mites. Good luck with her though, she sounds like she has great future promise!

Cheers,
-Matt
