New to this site and still trying to navigate so hopefully I’m doing all this right. I’m looking for more info to help with my breeding colonies.

I currently have 10 ball pythons and I went and got 4 colonies @ a 1.3 ratio. I’ve had them for 36 days and I was told they were about 4 months old when I got them. How soon will they start producing babies? Once they do start having babies, will I be able to add babies from other colonies to the same male or female grow out tubs? Or will I need to have separate tubs for each colonies grow outs? After a couple litters have been born in each colony, I plan to remove the males in each colony and leave a baby to grow and replace him so I don’t get overrun by them. Does this seem like a good idea? Thanks for your time!

Any advice on the best way to utilize this site so appreciated as well!
