    Introducing a male to a female

    For those of you who breed, how do you go about introducing your males to your females in their tubs? Do the females ever show aggression towards the males?

    Re: Introducing a male to a female

    Most of mine are very calm all the time, if you have a nasty one which I do, I get her to ball up then I put the male in when she comes out I'm gone and she notices its just a boy to give her some company.
    Absolutely obsessed with ball pythons!

    I hear a little Barry White on the CD player makes the introduction go pretty smoothly

    I usually just open the females tub, let the male slide on in and close the tub. I do watch for a bit to make sure there are no problem.
