Breeding a male ball python at 350 plus grams

[dragondavy]

Hi
I was wondering if any breeders have bred a small 350 plus male ball python and has gotten eggs from them?

I would love to know this please.

Thanks for the help!

Most people recommend at least 600 grams, but I heard of one person (don't remember who) that was successful at 200 grams. I think a picture of it is floating around some where. The big factor I think is the age. If the male is too small/young he may not be interested in that type of activity. We are currently trying to get our Pastel het Albino up to wait for a late breeding this year with a normal, but we figure we will do three on with him then give our normal male who is already close to 600 grams 3 days then go back and forth. If we get patels we know who was active!

yes there are males that small that breed. age is a factor and if they are producing sperm. you can have lockups from males that small and no sperm is going to the females. spiders are known to breed young.

Cool, I might hold him to a late breeding if he puts on the weight, I only want this male on the female I holding for him.

Good thing is he is still eatting.

Would like to hear from others who has try with young males.


Thanks
