Please learn how to care for them before you even think about breeding, I'm saddened by all the people who try to breed that have no experience caring for them...

ive had snakes all my life

i just wanted to get off on a good foot...

I'd recommend waiting at least a year, since you've just decided to begin breeding. Do as much research as you can within that time. You wouldn't want to begin breeding and realize there's a lot you are missing. It would be best to get an incubator asap, and all the correct housing and materials right now ..just so you're sure that when you begin breeding you have EVERYTHING ready and waiting :) Just my opinion. Big difference between breeding and keeping as pets! I plan on waiting at least another few years before I attempt to breed for the first time.

Search for the specific topic you are looking for. A person could fill this whole page with info and it would not be everything. If you have a specific question then ask, but for general info use the search

........... did anyone notice or care to watch this snakes head gets caught in his laptop at the end....

for the love of god... research everything... then do it again....

this is sickening and frankly i thought it was a joke.... poor snake.

:weirdface Hadn't watched the video.. though I don't think the snake was actually stuck, seeing as it pulled its own head out so easily. It may have just been "holding on" (so to speak) to the inside of the laptop, not wanting to be removed. They are incredibly strong, obviously, lol.
Also, I had not realized how young the OP is, which I'm not penalizing you for. I am, however, curious.. you say you've "had snakes all [your] life", yet you appear to be so young. I assume this was an exaggeration, unless you've actually been brought up in a household in which your parents owned snakes your entire life, lol. :rolleyes:

I still think you have a lot of learning to do before breeding, just by judging your reaction to your BP putting his head inside of your laptop :oops:

I have a few questions..

Do you know what a search engine is?

Have you done any research at all on the care of BPs?

Um.. Are you scared of your snake?

And are you TRYING to permanantely damage your snake?? Do you know the consequences to improper sexing techniques and popping a snake too frequently???

And this one is just my own opinion, but snakes are not USBs.. seriously, wtf.

You wanna breed huh? Lord help the snakes.:please:

I did watch in semi horror, lol, and that and his past post only reaffirm my original response...

:O Please, PLEASE do not breed anything....
If you "don't even know if I'm doing this right", then WHY would you try to pop him?!

I agree that waiting on breeding would be best. Here's nothing wrong with having a pair of pets for a while. I think it's best to research as much as you can beforehand as well as get a feel for your snakes before you get into breeding. There's plenty enough potential problems and expenses without adding egg binding and incubators. They're exciting little things to be sure, but taking care of a pregnant animal is a big responsibility.

If you wait a bit, youll have the time to learn about their care and genetics and you won't need to freak out over every small thing.

As to the sex...you don't need to pop it. The vet should be able to tell you the sex when you take it in for a checkup. After all, youd want to make sure your animals were as healthy as possible before even attempting breeding, right?

Most likely your snake is a male. Also, it seems like in the video the snake is going into shed, he looks very ashy, you really should have left him alone so he can shed in peace. by the way you are handling your snake, it seems like you have not had him for more then a month. it seems like he is poop and needs to be handle with the greatest of care. kinda like he will bite you XD
I think you should learn more on how to care for the pythons for more then a year and then see. plus your snake looks to young and not at the right weight for breeding either.
If you really want to know the snakes sex then take him to a reptile store or experienced vet and ask them if they could please sex your snake for you.
