i thought that storks delivered baby ball pythons :s well then, apparently i was grossly misinformed.

In all seriousness, get a female, start thinking about an incubator, make sure you have adequate housing ready for babies (heat tape, t-stat etc) and do plenty of research, then...research some more. Oh and make sure you will be able to afford to feed a few extra mouths. Good luck, Its more addicting than crack!

yes having a mutli unit cage system ready will be of a great help. I currently have only 6 tubs slots open for 12 eggs. but I will be fixing this really fast once i can get a couple projects out of the way. I will have the funds to build my 3 rack that can hold 14 tubs. with each rack i build i learned a new trick or 2 (remember seeing stuff my grandfather did when he was working with wood.)

remember that you won't get to breed this year (i personally want to own/cared for a female a minium of 1 year before i breed her so i can make sure she has a good diet. that my opinion anyhow)

i say plan on at least a dozen new snakes you have to keep/sell for at least 3 months before you sell them. So making sure you have the funds, supplies and such is a major comitment to make.
