Some of my breeding pics...

So since everyone seems to be posting breeding photos, I thought to do the same...

And yes, that is blood, and yes that is normal.

:) Any questions?

Looks like the season is off to a good start Heather. Love the low white pied! :gj:

Heather, great projects! You got some nice looking snakes! Pieds are next years purchase, you are gonna have to let me know how that breeding goes.:gj:

:O I see CRAZY good Bees on their way! Awesome pix of awesome snakes!

Yeah, I am REALLY excited about that one. I like the way the parents are, so I can't wait to see the babies!!! :D

Hi Heather,
This season is my first season breeding Ball Pythons and I use paper towels just as you do. I noticed the blood trails in my enclosures as well and was starting to worry a little. Do you happen to know where the blood comes from? Is it from the male or the female? I'm alot less stressed now knowing that it's quite normal lol.
Kind regards,
Jason

Jason!

LOL! I knew someone would pick that up, which is why I put that little note on the bottom.

It is from the males, as I understand it, exposing hemipenes to the female. In all honesty, I have yet to see it actually happening, but that is what I understand it to be. Let me check my books to be sure, but there you go.

Congrats Heather. You should get some very good looking Bees from that beautiful pairing.

Looking good Heather - Best of luck to ya!!!!
