    Ball python sperm plug

    i tried poping my male spider to ensure he is in fact a male, saw a sperm plug. Are these supposed to come out of the snake? Because when i popped him it just sort of fell out

    pairings take time to happen. Keep pairing them 3 on 2 off all winter till you see Ovy. Once he gets in full gear hell be non stop all over them

    Re: Ball python sperm plug

    lol well flamethrower i have 2 questions
    1: If i breed a male pastel and spider to my female norm. Is there any chance ill get a buble bee because i know multiple sired clutches are possible? No right? (sorry for the newb question, 1st year breeding
    2: When breeding should a lighten up on feeding my female, or should i continue to feed her so she gains as much as possible before going off feed? I feed her 1 med. rat a week and she is currently pushing 2100g.

    1 No you will only get spiders,pastels or normals but you might get all normals. But sired clutches can not mix male sperm to make a super sperm and create a new mutation.

    2. I feed my females every 4 days a sm rat. males get wean rat every 10-14 days to keep them lean.
