    Re: help

    Not to belabor a point here but you typed "about to breed" so we did not assume anything. We can only go off what you provide us so perhaps you might want to spend more time being a little more clear in your wording rather than starting a ton of threads at one time and expecting us to know what you mean even when you don't type it clearly. Just a thought.

    Are you kidding me? Did you actually, SERIOUSLY type this up, and POSTED it?

    We're bullying you? Ganging up on you? Because you're the KID that doesn't know anything?

    I'll tell you what man.

    I'm a kid. I'm probably younger than you are. When I make a mistake, I apologize, continue researching, and then ask more questions. I don't start telling people they're bullying me.

    And if that's what we wanted to do, gang up on people, then why do we always help out people that need some advice? If that was so you wouldn't be the only one complaining right now.

    Morph guides:

    www.8ballpythons.com
    www.newenglandreptile.com

    Those are my favorites.

    Just a quick FYI, unless you purchase a female that is an adult and already ready to breed or close to it, you will not be breeding a year from now.

    Let's say you do your research and you purchase this female 6 months from now. She will need to be quarantined for a minimum of 90 days prior to introduction with your male. So, if you purchase a female hatchling 6 months from now, and add 3 months for QT and another 3 months to make the time frame be one year from now, you still only have a 7 month old or so female. Purchase an adult and after the 3 month QT she may be settled enough to breed, but maybe not. Shipping and a new environment is stressful and not all females will go for you right away or even in the first year that they are in your possession if they are not comfortable and ready. Just something to keep in mind.

    Re: help

    I think another thing that you have to remember, is that you should be a little more concerned with the female. If you try to breed too early, and she is not ready, you may end up getting her egg-bound, and possibly kill her. I recommend just sitting back and using the search feature along the top menu bar. You may be able to find all the information that you need, without having to deal with people like me...

    Research, research, and more research.
