    But I do agree completely with the spending as much time possible learning and reading everything possible before you attempt to breed.
    Well, if she's only gained 700 grams into her second winter (assuming this will be her third), then it's unlikely that she'll add 800 grams in 8 months. Besides which, suddenly trying to pack on the weight in a short amount of time isn't necessarily what's best for the animal.

    I had girls this past season at 1500 grams that still were not in the body condition that I felt that they needed to go this year. Although they were in their third winter, I chose to give them another year to mature.

    The OP stated in their first post that they felt that they didn't have a lot of knowledge of ball pythons. Deciding if your females are conditionally ready to breed does come with experience, and I would never encourage someone still learning to try to feed their animal up to size quickly.
