    No such thing..:P

    The easiest way is to first get the basics down. Mark Mandic's site does a good job of breaking it down. www.ballpython.ca

    Next thing is to learn your animals I mean not just "oh yea thats Bessy" but rather "why is she laying on the cool side she never does that", or "that's weird she never refuses a meal, I'll watch that". Whats normal behavior and whats not for your animals. Once you get that you'll get a better feel for when things change in that animals routine this not only will help you learn to watch for breeding behavior but also spot illness should one arise.

    Over time you'll tweak little things that may help or hurt your breeding. Keep notes, when you feed (before or after pairing) how did this alter anything if at all, when did you pair (time, temp, weather, barometric pressure) things like that will give you a better idea on what your collection is keying on to spur on or slow breeding down.
