Breeding time?

What is up forum, I am from Mexico and then i read that can be raised all year, so it is this? Or that advisable? Well, how is that for a half sexar stings?

I think if you talked in Spanish I could understand you better

I'am sorry. But what are you trying to say?

If you are asking can they be bred all year the short answer is no. They have seasons with temperature and lighting changes although I heard lighting doesn't effect ball pythons that much. As far as the half sexar stings I am at a loss..

Balls can certainly be bred year round...I get clutches every month of the year and have for years!

I figured it was possible since it's not hard to change temps and pretend it's November in August. We artificially create their environment almost entirely so it does make sense. I just don't know exactly how to do it nor have I heard of any one who does it until now. This is very interesting though because if some one were to have snake breeding incorporated into their business model and had a very large collection this could help in so many different ways I can't even think of them all right now.

What's your secret? Is your entire collection synchronized with temperatures and lighting or do you have cycles for sets or even pairs?

I could see if you had different groupings where group A is set to induce breeding season in January, group B in April and so on and so forth. Maybe even where you simply pull them out of the main groups temps and just change it for the pair(s) you want to breed then go back to normal. With a smaller collection having a rotating cycle could be a bad idea unless the person really was making sure the animals stayed healthy and got appropriate breaks to gain weight back up.

I think it is best to raise in the season, but it would be great to learn, to know how to get him into our stock and raise every year, if they could explain how they make it, would be grateful.

False then can be bread year around. I know many breeders who have a rack dedicated to each breeding season.. Summer/Spring/Fall/Winter

You should take time and read! Simple questions can be answered with time spent, I feel if you cant spend a little time reading and learning about breeding it should not be done. I do not mean to sound rude, but now a days everyone jumps right in and expects free easy answers. When you can do a simple search.
