Is this the money shot.

Hi all, I placed my known male in with my (according to previous owner) pretty sure female. I took some pics of the time they spent together and I think they did the deed! Here are some pics.

This may be a dumb question but, would two male snakes do this?
another


They stayed this way for quite some time, Is this the money shot?

Although I'm not experianced in the breeding world yet, based on some pictures I've seen from breeders, it looks like it could be.

but I do believe breeding season is during the cooler months. so the male is ready to do the deed, but I don't think she is

They could be locked up.The only way to be 100% sure is if you see the Hemi penis entering her.The only way is to queitly(spelling) sit and observe them.Why are you attempting breeding so early in the season,most do not even put them together until December(myself included).

That female doesn't look big enough to be breeding, how big is she?

There is a couple breeders that I know of that have been experimenting with different breeding seasons and having some success. I think the ball python breedings are going in new directions from previously used methods.

From what I've read, there is no set breeding season. In a controlled environment, breeding season can be when ever you want

I have heard of some trying breeding year round but have never heard on there sucess or not.I have enough of a stress factor breeding the balls in the fall and the corns in the spring,just think year round for both :firstcup: lol

I agree with Bill, How big is that female?? I hope that male is atleast 2500g.

[Kilo]

I thought the males need to be around 500gm and the female should be in between 1200-1500 grams...

He is referring to the fact the male is almost double the size of the female. For her to be anywhere near big enough to breed he would have to be over 2500 grams.
