    Can Spiders males breed younger?

    I can't remember where, but read that one of the reasons, other than being a kool morph is that spider males can breed younger than other male ball pythons...is this true?

    Nope! they do tend to be stronger breeders than some but they mature at the same age as every other Ball male .

    I have numerous morphs that have bred at a young age. My Spider did breed at seven months of age and produced 2 clutches. I also did that this year with my Mojave and Cinnamon male, but they were about 9 months of age when they started.
