    How old is she? What does she weight?

    Sometimes younger ones will be stubborn, sometimes they just don't want to go. It's what makes ball python breeding very frustrating at times.

    If her age and weight are fine, you might just have a non-breeder on your hands. Keep trying though, maybe she's waiting for another male, or the right year?:oops:

    Weight could be a factor because she really only packs on weight during a few months of the year in the summer, she never eats during the winter so maybe she doesnt feel big enough to dedicate so much energy to producing eggs. She's on her third winter and shes at 1345 grams very empty lol. Shes just a very slow grower. I'm gonna have to buy myself some more females.

    Try her when she's at least 1500, you can go sooner, but she seems to not be interested.

    Second, you tried her last year when she was only two and how much weight? It would explain why she didn't go that year either.:)

    Pack some weight on her in the months you can, and hopefully she'll eventually go for you.;)

    Ya last year i didnt really attempt anything just threw them in together once or twice to see what would happen,and obviously nothing happened.

    Maybe shes still too small, but this waiting is really killing me.

    It always does! :oops: But once you do get a result, it's worth all the wait!

    Good luck!:D
