When to start breeding?
I'm curious to know how and when did you decide to start breeding ball pythons?
I'm trying to decide this for myself. I have a beautiful citrus yellowbelly girl who is at least 2 years old. I weighed her today, and she's over 1800g! Even with the rat in her belly from a few days ago, that's well over the 1500g minimum for breeding condition weight. I have a great specter male to breed her to, and hopefully get a super stripe. (Or better yet, a citrus super stripe!)
I'm just trying to figure out if I'm ready. Been doing some reading, but mostly informational, nothing overly serious. Have a fridge I can convert to an incubator, but haven't done that yet. I've been shown how to pop babies a couple times, but haven't tried it myself. My collection is up to 10 ball pythons, plus some other species, so I've got good experience raising snakes, but not an expert by any means. I've had snakes before these ones, so not brand new either. Just that touch of nervousness with making the jump. :/
Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
