Will they breed in a cage?

so i recently built a rack for that has four tubs in it, and one of the tubes has my bp and one has my corn. but i have found that i really miss not seeing them crawl around in a natural looking environment(something that is kinda hard to create in a tub. but i also might want to breed them sometime soon, on a very small scale. what i'm saying is i guess that i have never seen any one breed ball pythons in cages with just as much ease as in tubs?

Are you referring to a wire cage? :confused:

no no no no no! i meant a tank but not a screen top one, like one that i would build. or buy i guess.

95% of accidental breedings happen in tanks. :gj:

So yes, they will. :)

Adam Wysocki's first clutch came from snakes in a cage, so yes they will.

Also I think if Adam is as successful as he is and he started in a cage it would be like a good luck charm ;)

I'm pretty sure I saw some pics posted with lock-ups happening in the cages...My memory is getting old, but maybe a sharper tack might be able to help out...But yes, they will breed in cages...

Sharp tack? Someone say sharp tack??? Well, I read the other day that drinking 3-5 cups of coffee may help to stave away dementia. Yeah baby, I am sharper than a tack!!!!

Here you go, breeding in RBI cages:

Heck, they're animals; they'll breed anywhere!! Did I ever tell you about the time my hubby and I were in the Smithsonian and... oh, wait, family friendly and all. Yeah, animals!!!! :P

Look you put a boy and a girl of breeding age together, and they both like one another, then as long as they don't feel threatened they're gunna do the nasty. It's just kinda what happens.

thanks guys, i think i will switch back to a tank then. thanx again.

if they want to make some babies they will do it whereever they can ;) i had to bathe a few of my snakes recently and had a male an female on the bathroom floor waitin for their turn . . . guess they were gettin bored waiting and decided to lock . . . . i had to leave them together and wash alll the other snakes and they were still locked luckily they didnt feel like holdin the world record and they finished before i did!!
