    Breeding questions...

    So I want to breed ball pythons one day in the future and I want to make sure that what im doing produces the best possible offspring and that includes healthy snakes. I wanted to know if I we're to breed the same male to two different females then later breed the offspring of the two females together am I going to have issues? Should I just get two males of the same morph, or is this considered an ok practice. Right now im leaning towards the two males option.

    Sorry if auto correct messes up my message, because I have large thumbs.

    what you are referring to is called line breeding and is generally acceptable with reptiles. I personally wouldn't do it too to much but a couple generations should be fine.

    Re: Breeding questions...

    That's what I got from my research online but I figured that it would be best to ask some people.
