    Talking Getting Started!

    Hi this will be my first season to attempt breeding my ball pythons! I have 7 of them and I'm looking for some advice on how to do it. I've done research online on how to do it but I'm just looking for additional help! Here is what i have, 2 female normals, 1 male normal, 1 pastel female, 1 pastel male, 1 spider male, 1 pinstripe male. Its getting towards the end of September and I've been introducing my males to the females. but the males don't seem to have much interest? is that normal? and at the beginning of October ill start cooling the temps down. if you have any links or personal advice on what to do and when to do it that would be great!!! thanks a ton!

    How long are you leaving the males with the females? This is my first year breeding bps too.... At first my male didn't seem interested but the next day I found him locked up with the female.

    Considering I'm not cooling my snakes, I don't know when "too early" would be. They are locking when it's in the 90's outside.

    Good question
    Age? Size? Setup?

    I to started pairing a couple weeks ago and getting lots of locks...

    Thunder Storms are a good trigger, also any kind of Low Pressure weather front I get more activity.
