EGGBOUND

This is why we should not breed until they/us are ready. I'm sure there are eggbound deaths in the wild also, even if a snake is sexually mature. There is also diseases spread also increasing the chance of deaths. I however, care more about mine, and don't want them to be another statistic. Just because "it's the way they do it in the wild" does not mean it is the way we should do it. Well, it's not the way i'm going to do it.

Not only that, but is the poster prepared for eggs, is he (i apologize if you are a girl) ready for them to be dropped any day? Incubator or natural icubation? What about the other snakes? He does realize if they are turned by the other snakes the baby will die in the egg?

Truthfully, I would trust anyone on here with experience in rasing balls, than anyone with a college degree (or book smarts).
