is this a normal?

[RichsBallPythons]

you gotta wait for next year breeding season to start with lol bps are already laying eggs and hatching eggs but it looks like a regular normal just with a little nice blushings

Breeding season is ALL year long. Its not over till the female lays eggs.

most typically breed around winter was what i was told and what ive noticed but i guess you could decide the breeding season yourself lol

she might be old enough but it depends more on her weight some people go with 1200 grams but most go with 1500 grams which is a safer route in my opinion probably in alot of others too and proving out ok lets say when you breed her you need to keep a male from her clutch that looks the closest to her and breed him to her when hes ready so yeah lol thats the best way i can put it

so your inbreeding snakes for what reason??

so if i fatten her up i can still breed her this year then right?

Id love to hear how you came up with 1500g is safer. Cant wait to hear this one.

Nice she has some pied like markers but I'm not an expert on so called "markers" nice BP either way. I have gotten my girl to breed at 1189 grams. She's doing fine now.

not necessarily safer thats the only word i could think of off the top of my head but i would love the extra weight so theres less of a chance on being egg bound and dying one of my friends on here had a female weighing in at 1195 before she was bred and she ended up dying from being egg bound but like i said some prefer 1200 grams so im not saying they have to breed at 1500 grams its just what I do

[Caleyandanthony]

Yes you can.

thank you for telling me that i was kinda bummed for a minute

Bigger doesn't mean better. Ive seen more females over the 2k mark egg bound than i have of females 1200. The size plays little role to the females ability to successfully breed and lay eggs that are healthy.

You have genetics,health, and feedings that all play a roll in their ability to breed and push eggs out. Just keep in mind 1500 isnt any safer over 2-3000g female. They all can get egg bound at any size and age.
