How to increase the chance of getting good eggs for BP?

Besides suitable environment .

How can I get many fertile eggs when breeding?

Is this all about the chance?

No clear method to increase the chances?

From my opinion, proper weight, 1500g in general. Consistent feedings, not power feed which causes the snake to be fat and lazy. Adequate lockings from a male.

Healthy girls tend to lay more healthy eggs.

feed it to breed it" When the females start to develop they usually will eat like bottomless pits. At this time I reduce the prey size and feed them everytime they act like they are hungry. Good weight/size ration going into the season and GREAT weight towards ovulation IMO is the most important for the girls. Males, IMO need to be a little cooler since heat kills or cripples sperm.

Good overall health is a given, as the stress of the breeding season could kill questionable animals and a female that did bred if in poor shape is more likely to reasorb or slug out as she would be unable to survive if sick or underweight.

Good health is key. You want your females big... NOT fat. Fat females have a tendency to slug out.

One thing I've done that has had 100% success rate for me so far is I do not palpate my females. I just don't feel like I'm very good at it, and I fear that I might do more damage than good trying to figure it out. Lots of people palpate and have success, I don't and have had tons of success... so to each his own.

When it comes time for all the pairing and whatnot I don't touch my females unless I'm cleaning their tubs. I think removing as much stress as possible helps a bunch too.

This is what I do, feed feed feed and smaller rats than normal.
I will feed my girls 2-3 times a week 25-30 gram large fuzzies till they stop eating and go into glow and ovulation.
