How to breed... for dummies =)

[cheaversg]

Ok so currently im a college student and I just got my first ball python (normal).
I was looking at all the possibilities for ball pythons and how nice they can come out and thought i would love to know how to breed them.
Obviously Im not going to do it now and I have a few years before I can but it wouldn't hurt to start research now.
So i was wondering if it were possible for someone to put a step by step on what to do and what should happen when breeding your snakes.
I would like to know the length of each step and any other important details.
Or can someone direct me to a comprehensive site that has what im looking for on it.
Thank you

The search engine is your friend. There is lots of information to be found here. There is a whole forum section just for breeding. Many people have many different ways of breeding and how they do things and what works for them. I think it's Markus Jayne that has a "events timeline". To type all that information out...

You said "important details"..................

This is a great read to start with.

The information is out there and it will be much more rewarding to search and learn on your own then having people spoonfeeding you their own personal method.

Everyone does thing differently from pairing to incubating there are various method, what is important is to find what works for you and your animals.

But in the mean time this is a good start http://ballpython.ca/gallery/breeding/ (just don't limit yourself to this) and then if you have specific questions, things you do not understand just ask.
