    Do you cool your ball pythons for breeding?
    If you cool them what is your routine if you don't what is your successful breeding rate?

    Thanks Kindly,

    Lance

    No. Last year was about 50/50 but I had a few smaller girls I didn't really expect to go. It does help the males have higher sperm counts when they are cooled though so if you can cool them, I would recommend it.

    We had two together completely out of season for a few hours once and had eggs (we were originally told the male was a female, so woops on our part). So it's not completely necessary for sure. But if you're having trouble, it can help.

    I don't cool at my house but my partner does.
    We have the same success rate getting females to breed and lay eggs.

    Don't cool. I find it an unnecessary extra step since they breed fine either way.

    The risks behind cooling improperly just don't justify doing it for me. It tends to be more a matter of preference rather than proven success.

    yes, however I'm not sure how effective it was. My first clutch was laid on 4/1/12 and the last clutch was in October!
