Recommended Amount of Space for Breeding Pair?

I am so close to getting permission for breeding, but I need to know one more thing. What size tank or terrarium is best for two BPs living together? What's the minimum size? Limitations?

Any and all input is helpful!

Best thing you can do is use the search button on the many ball python forum sites and read!

I wouldn't house them together all the time. This can be stressful. I would just introduce the male into the female's tank for 3 days then remove him and lev tem separate for 4 days. That gives them time to eat, digest, and rest.

Also, before you put them together, do a TON of research on breeding and make sure you are financially able to care for all the babies for months. If you have to ask permission to breed, I'm guessing the issue is with a parent. If they are funding your adventure, make sure they understand that you will need to have individual tubs for EACH baby (and subsequently need to heat those tubs - best to get a rack system) and you'll have to feed each baby every 4-7 days for as long as they are in your care. Not to mention, you'll need to buy/build a reliable incubator with a reliable thermostat. That alone is $150-$200 on the cheap end. It can get expensive. Make sure you are 100% prepared before you pair.
