Hi Everyone!
I LOVE ball pythons and have had one as a pet. This year I decided I was going to go all in after doing tons of research with trying to breed to help my daughter pay for college (I feel like such a sucky mom that I don't have a robust college fund for her, so I'm putting my love of these animals into a project that I hope will help me help her pay for at least some of her college, she graduates from HS in June of this year). Anyway I purchased two males that in my newbie mind are pretty sound genetically, but were also not cheap! One is an enchi, gravel, yb, pied and the other is Cinny, sup pastel, sandblast, pied. I have a few other males that are locking perfectly, but these two are just not locking and every time I check on them they are curled up in their own section of the tub, once in a while they are snuggled up with the females, but no locks from either of them..I also work full time so don't check crazy often. The enchi, gravel, yb, pied is a proven male from Kinova. The other one I bought from a breeder that sent me pics of him locked with another female (who I also purchased...I have yet to see them lock and she is still on food and has been paired with him since 10/26). So my question is do I run out and try to buy replacement males for the girls I have slated with these two or am I panicking and maybe they're being sneaky over night or during the way while I'm at work? I'd love any advice, even if it's to tell me to calm the eff down! I've tried the shed from other males thing, not sure it's making a difference.
TIA!
