how long after laying eggs can you breed again?

[Rat160]

I know corns can breed multiple times in a season, can balls do this? Given they have good weight and are healthy. Was just wondering how long after laying eggs do you guys start pairing again?

[Simple Man]

No no and no. Once a year, that's part of the reason that ball prices are steady compared to many other reptiles!

They only lay once a season

Pythons are really only capable of producing one clutch a year (and often skip a year or two when being bred consecutively). It takes a lot out of them physically to produce a clutch and then they are geared for brooding it. Colubrids, on the other hand, are not maternal and don't devote as much time and energy to their clutches.

Sometimes if a girl goes really early in the year
She might have a second clutch later in the year. I have a female that laid in March this year. I ultrasounded her a few days ago and she is about halfway to another ovulation.
