When I first got started I read every thing that I could get my hands on to tell me how to breed ball pythons. Adam Wysocki's web site, Mark Mandic's site. I talked with breeders and learned the things to look for. Laying cold , glowing, laying hot, ovulation then POS and then lay.
Well that's all well and good. But they don't all follow that path. I bred this female to a lesser male this year. She only locked three times with this male, never went off food I mean she even ate last week and even ate 20 minutes after I pulled her off eggs, I never saw her glow, she never laid cold, never saw an ovulation. Low and behold I was feeding and checking on snakes tonight. I opened up this tub and there was this girl sitting on a clutch of eggs 4 good looking eggs.
Just goes to show you that you never stop learning..
So first clutch of 2010 is in the bator and looking good.
