looking to breed

[mitch2724]

I have 2 females and 1 male BP and i was wondering if there is any specific time of year to breed them

First off, you need to make sure your bps are up to size. If they are too small, you risk their health and lives.

But to answer your question, most usually start putting males with females in November. I would also suggest searching the site. There is loads of information available if you just look for it. If you have any other specific questions please feel free to ask.

well both of my females are 3 feet long and the male is almost 4

[tigerlily]

Length is not a deciding factor in breeding. It's more about body tone and weight.

well the male sounds fine and the females sound a little small for breeding but you really need a scale to get there weights a male is good around 700grams and a female is good around 1500 grams. this a rule of thumb.

[mitch2724]

well the male is the biggest ball as far as thickness that I have ever seen, and both females are about 3 inches thick

a male is good around 700grams and a female is good around 1500 grams. this a rule of thumb.

Well...... be careful here because I've seen 500 gram males breed. And a 5 foot female who is 1500 grams is NOT ready breed.

A better rule of thumb for females is 500 grams per foot.

I suggest getting a scale and weighing them before you decide to put them together. I got one that goes up to 2500g from walmart for $30. I have 2 BP's that but a big fat E (for error, meaning they tip it!) on that scale, but other than that, it works well.

Hah, I have the same scale...that ERROR reading just means "GOOD TO GO!" to me
