I just watch a video on world of ballpython regarding lethal combo? one of it was desert gene breed to desert gene. is it true? sir, post some picture of the clutch. thanks...

There is a Desert female clutch from another breeder due to hatch this week, and Desert females have laid good clutches before, so I would not call it a lethal combo.

I think it is important to wait until females are 2000 grams before breeding.

I thought that clutch was 60 days LAST week ? Is this the desert x desert posted on KS ?

Good luck with your desert pairings.

Our females are still copping. We have removed all supplemental heat in their cages, going after a new theory. Follicles have grown a bit, and cops are still occuring, but the normal rate of breeding progression is not there, which I would think has to do with lack of heat.

But the Desert females that have been bred in the past had no supplemental heat, so we are rolling with that approach. Hopefully slow and steady will get us to where we want to be. It is just extra slow.

As for the Desert clutch posted on KS, it is past hatch date, but I haven't seen a peep from that breeder again since the day he posted the clutch.
