Ball Python Breeding Plans

[Reps4life]

Hello, The 2011 season will be my first season breeding ball pythons. I will be hopefully starting with a spider male, female pastel, female pinstripe, and a female normal so does anyone have any tips for me to make sure i have the best first season possible? Oh, I have done ALOT of research on this and i know what im getting into and i cant wait! thank you.

so it's a one boy to three girls pairing ehy, lucky guy... i think there are plenty of thread here telling what to do before paring them: eg. re-sex your snakes, get all equipments ready, etc... Good luck.

Sounds like that spider has a lot of work on his hands. Hope he's UP to the challenge.

My only advice is to check his weight and monitor his condition during the season. Hopefully he eats some mid season meals to help with his production. Don't over work him. Successful breeding it really more about patience and timing than just constant pairing. When she is ready, he needs to be ready, so I would probably do a couple days on and a few days off sort of thing and only increased when I felt follicles. Goodluck

I would get another male to back him up...

yeah i thought about it since this post and i have a different and better idea on my mind. Im going to start with a male bee, female pastel, and female pin to go for those tripe gene mutations, im not getting a normal female anymore. or i want to substitute the pastel for a lesser to get a lesser bee. Im getting the snakes soon so ill post pics up when i get them. thanks

thats quite a bit of $$ you will be spending on breeder size snakes. Hope your up for that.

Yeah your right, i thought about it and im getting 2010 babies to raise up myself or even 2009 snakes. Because that would be more fun/exiting when the time comes for the breeding season!
