how many times can I breed female ball pythons in their entire life?

I always wonder this.
How many times can female ball pythons lay eggs in their entire life? How many times do you guys breed your female balls?

I don't know but I attempt to breed them every year. I have noticed that my oldest girls will often skip a year or two, I suspect that they eventually just stop laying. I recently lost a very old female that I suspect was either in her late 30's early 40's (I had her for about 13-14 years and I know the person who gave her to me had her for over 15 years and the snake was an adult when she got her) She didn't lay any eggs for the past 4 years despite breeding her every year.

Two completely different questions. You don't breed your females,they do the breeding. All you do is put the male in with the female! Breeding, and having eggs are not the same.;)
