    Breeding enclosure size and feeding during breeding season?

    Is the size of the enclosure a factor while breeding bp's? I mean is it better to pair them in smaller or bigger cages?

    I'm asking because when I pair my bp's they lay in separate ends of the cage (it's female's cage and its 48 inches long x 20 inches wide). Is it better to put them both into smaller cage or it doesn't matter?

    Also do u feed your ball pythons while breeding (for example during breaks when male is out?)

    Also since begining of september my female went off feed and she already lost 100g - is it normal? She's not interested in food. My male ate a small mouse yesterday.

    If shes off feed losing that much weight its not normal. Most only lose about 10-20g per 2-4 month fast if that.

    And always put males in with females. Will not effect them one bit how big it is.

    No she didn't - last time she took a dump was september 17 (I weight them after each dump ;p), so she just lost weight by not eating I guess. She stoped eating at the begining of spetember and I was sure that it's the breeding season (when she started refusing food I still had the temps up at normal, and I started decreasing already 2 weeks after she stopped feeding).

    Hmm so what do u guys think is she ready for breeding this year or not, since she lost so much weight in over a month? Or is there a way I can make her eat to at least keep the weight as it is? She is a bit over 2 years and had 1600g when went off feed, now she's 1500g.

    Are your temps still low? If so bump them back up slowly and once she has been warm for a week or so offer her food again. You can keep pairing your male and your female but you need to take the male out at least once a week and give him and her a few days break. While they are apart you can offer food.

    Good luck

    How is your ball doing? Did you decide to breed her? Did she start eating?
