Actually no ... It takes "adequate" weight to breed and produce a healthy clutch of eggs ... "a lot of weight" is pretty much a bad thing for breeding. ;)

Hope this helps.

Steven I thought your girl was still in quarentine?

That question out of the way I'd definately wait. If she's even half as drawn looking as she is in the post lay photo definately hold off. Your gut is obviously telling you to so listen to it. :)

Just wait..

It is not worth possibly damaging the health of your snake to try and breed her now.

In the end my point was, there is no benefit to feeding such a large amount of food and in the end you could wind up with a snake that goes off feed. It is very common for overfed Ball Pythons to stop feeding altogether to allow their bodies to catch up. Better to keep the meals small and consistent and keep those snakes feeding regularly.

Point taken, Thank you.
