I have a 9 month old albino ball python that i purchased 4 months ago. He has been a decent feeder until recently when he started pounding small adult mice. On the scale( non-trusted) scale it says he weighs about 250 grams. Last week he pounded down 3 small adult mice and i am currently in the process of switching him over to small rats because i understand they are a better meal. He is extremely tame and looks very healthy. I have taken some pictures of him 2 days after his last feeding and some feeding pictures of him about 3 weeks ago. ( I will post these at the bottom). He is currently about 2 1/4 feet long and his spurs. I will soon have a het albino female that will be at least 1500 grams so i am not worried about her, but i wanted to know if he would be ready to breed for me this fall if he keeps having consistently good meals. I feed him once a week, and give him 2 mice. This last week he easily ate the second one and started looking for more so i gave him a 3rd one. I hope from the pictures, you guys can get a good idea of his weight, growth rate and size. At the time of the feeding pictures he weighed in the 150 gram range. My question is if he will be rady to breed this late fall.
Thanks for any help,
Aaron
