novice, need breeding help

[conakry cobra]

Hi, this is my first time breeding ball pythons so I need help.I live in Africa, so the breeding season is different.Am I right?Well, my bps are both wild and that might be surprising to you, but they are very tame.I started breeding in May and saw some locks. Now I think that she is building but im not sure.It has been almost 6 months now and I need to know if she is building.I will provide pictures another time.How long is it between first pairing and egg laying?I am dying to know!

how do I put pics on my thread?

Hi,

Well the first thing is to get them hosted somewhere online.

You can put them in your gallery here - this tutorial is a bit old but the basic procedure is the same I think.

And here is another one in video form that might also help.

You can also use a site like http://photobucket.com/

They should also have tutorials to help you.

If you still have trouble just ask any member of staff and we will do our best to get you sorted.

Hi,

And on your original question....

There is no set timeframe from locks to eggs I'm afraid - it all depends on the female.

This video is really good at showing how to feel for follicles - that can give you an idea of how things are progressing.



And this web page is great for knowing what the steps are.

Best of luck.

Did you catch the ball pythons yourself?

[conakry cobra]

No, I didn't catch it but they both come from Guinea, the country I live in.When I got the one, he was a baby, when I got the second one she was an adult. and now she is very tame.
when i got them, both at different time, they where both unhealthy.but now they are in top shape.
I dont know what morph my male is, he might be a normal but he has an upside down Y on his lips.My normal girl does not have that at all.
so as soon as I get my pics on I'll show them to you(since I haven't been able to)
