Hello,

I am planning on breeding several of my ball pythons for the 1st time this season. I often read in classified ads that people have males for sale with/showing sperm plugs. Does anybody have any pictures of their snakes sperm plugs, and should I be concerned if I do not see them on my male (can a male successfully copulate without visible sperm plugs)? The male I plan to breed is a lavender albino that hatched in october of 2011. I purchased his from Exotics By Nature. I would estimate him to be in the 700g range(it has been a while since I weighed him). I have a pinstripe het lavender female and lavender albino female that are in need of some loving this season, and I'm hoping that he is up for the job. Thanks for your time and advice, it is greatly appreciated.

Chris
