    Whats the smallest you'd breed?
    I've been thiking about breeding my 15200g female this season (starting late), and my male pastel- but I'm not too sure about it.. He's only 350g's- which to me seems pretty small, so I'm about 99% sure that I'm going to wait untill next year...

    But I'm curious, whats the smallest you personaly have bred or would breed? For a male- females I wouldent even consiter breedinh untill she's at 1500g. But I am curious, because Ive noticed some people on here breeding smaller males.

    Some input?

    Yea, after reading that thread I think I will :) I'll put them together probably the week after next, let them both eat a bit more and relax (I just gave them new hides and to them it's like a whole new world, lol), and make sure that their not stressed.. Then I'll put him in with her and see what happens!! I'll let you all know- and youll DEFINATLY know if theres a lock!!

    Now that I've settled that, with the help of all of you- thanks :) - now on to the incubator.. Though Ive trusted myself to build a rack, I do NOT trust myself to make an incubator, so any suggestions? I've heard these are good :http://www.bigappleherp.com/Hovabato...2&category=28# but I would like to hear some peoples personal oppinionos on it, and other types and brands.
    Please and thanks :D

    Hovabators are made to incubate chicken eggs. Some folks have used them with success, but I've read of many more failures than successes.

    I'm at work, so I don't have access to all my DIY incubator links. Hopefully others can answer those questions for you.

    So what have you been feeding that 33 lb female ball python?

    Lol, I assume you really mean something like 1,500 grams. I'd give her a try unless she is exceptionally long and thin for her frame.

    There's a lot of zero's in those grams!
