Age sounds great then, esp. if you want to wait until next year fall to breed Nr. 3.
If she is a decent eater, she will be up to size by then

Good luck !!

I don’t think anyone was picking on you personally, more just generally how common it is for breeders to rush before maturity.

I didn't take it as that..
I'd rather wait till all three females are ready then breed only two...

Well, you know Ball Pythons...LOL.

Does she have plenty of privacy? Hides?

Have you tried a different feeding method? Leaving it at night (if not live)?

Live, in case she was on f/t ? (under supervision)

12 days is not so bad, some are just finicky. Only try once the week, at the most, and leave her be in between.

If all is perfect and she just refuses, she is "one of those"... Just see where she is at around September, but I wouldn't breed until she is at least 1500 gr. You can breed at 1300 gr, I suppose, but that is for females that will continue to eat well. Then there are those that start to eat well while pairing. I would be more comfortable with 1300 gr. if the age was over 2 years and health and everything else is tops. But for me personally, 1500gr + and at least over 2 years old at start of breeding.

I'll try later at night.. sometimes that triggers her... She has been a fuzzy eater since day one.. spider Mojave...
