    What do you think is more fun to breed, Boas or Ball pythons?
    So i know this topic is not really all about Ball pythons although it sort of is and might not belong in the ball python section but what Type of snake do you have the most fun with in breeding and what morphs do you prefer, Ball python or Boa morphs and which do you enjoy caring for the most?

    Well, I myself have never bred before, so I can't answer that, but for the other questions I vote ball pythons! I like their morphs a lot more, I think they are more aesthetic and pretty and just cute in general, I especially love how many morphs there are.
    Now, I haven't actually owned a Boa, but my lil ball python makes the best pet IMO, super docile and lovable! :P

    I am a Boa person. I have 3 Boas BCI, Dumeril, ATB. I have also a BP and GTP. All my 5 snakes are males. I am not a breeder, but i refuse to bring a female to breed with any of my snakes because i refuse to breed snakes in captivity for a simple reason, i am not sure that the offspring will end up in good hands or find good homes. I don,t want to be responsible for bringing them to a miserable life conditions

    Hypothetically, boas would be more fun! It’s amazing to watch like fifteen baby snakes live born all at once. Plus, no incubators needed. LOL

    eta: it’s funny how everyone posting so far is “I’ve never bred, but” haha

    Boas. Egg layers are kinda boring. Plus boas imo are more enjoyable to keep. (less picky feeders, more out going in general etc.)

    I can if i wanted. My enclosures are big enough to house a male and a female. But as i mentioned, i refuse. He began the thread by describing breeding as fun. I just explained why i refuse to do it and why i don,t find it fun

    Boas are easier in that the female does all the work; you don't have to worry about incubating eggs.

    OTOH pippers are just darned cute! It's almost like watching Christmas presents unwrap themselves when they hatch.

    So I'm confused because Red's comment was obviously directed at OP so I'm not sure why you felt the need to explain yourself. Take it easy friend! You don't have to take things so personally all the time :p

    What,s wrong if i explained myself? The comment was directed at all who commented before him. Did i sound too serious? Shall i add "lol" at the end of my sentence to sound relaxed and smiling? lol
