ok so i have never bred ball pythons.

but,
i have read an exeptional bit.
and feel i am ready to take it on,

but, is my female norm, and male pastel?
he just weighed in at 411g.
and she just weighed in at 1235g.

now i know he's still a little to small, which i dont plan on letting him at her till he's over 600g

however the way he eats, a rat pup every week(which if u look at him in person, he's a big boy for an 09. kinda short but very stalky.) im sure he'll be good to go this season.

and my female seems to not be getting any heavier and feeds well every week on 3-5 retired breeder mice a week. depending on how hungry she is.

she has been at 1200g+ but doesn't seem to get bigger than 1250g
she's about 4 1/2ft and very stalky as well. beautiful patterns on both.

she's pretty large but just not huge like some ive seen. but as i said she doesn't seem like she will be getting any heavier or longer/bigger. i believe she is at her max size. she's also about 3-4 yrs old.

the question is, when is a good time to send the boy in? ive heard nov, early oct. and early dec.

i wont till my male is at 600+grams but i want to ensure my ladie is ready as well.
