breeding Qs

Can i put a male in with a female so late into the season?
Both animals havent stopped eating, if I put them together, will they stop eating?

After they lock several times, what signs should I look for?

Well, it is very late in the season. Plus, the animals would have had to be "cooled down". If you really are interested in breeding them, I would wait until next fall.The pair may or may not eat throught breeding season. Most likely, they will slow down at least. Also, keep in mind that they must be appropriate weight too....1500g (minimum) for a female and about 700g (minimum) for a male. If you wait, you can plan everything, and have the proper equipment ready. And you can get your pair nice and up to par.Good luck! Hope that helped.

Thanks, ill wait. I was going to wait, but my female weighed in over 2000 grams today. But my male is just little bit over 500 grams.

Why wait! the male is small, but may breed and your female is plenty big, ball pythons will breed all year long. just do a short cool down for 2 weeks at nite only and you may be surprised with some breeding activity. Good Luck :)

They can breed all year long?
So why almost everyone breed them at the same time?

My guess is because winter weather make breeders easier to cool snake down. In stead of having to use air condition in the summer to cool them down, correct?

I mean the weather in Bangkok is very hot all year round(we have winter like 1 or 2 weeks last year lol) so that means I can manipulate the weather and cool the animals whenever I want, right?
