Plus, I know that in the wild ball pythons breed in the rainy season--which is around February to April.

So honestly the BPs would be experiencing cooler temps in the wild. It really makes sense that cooler temps would help egg development. They breed during that time on purpose, right?
I do not know many people who would wanna breed when all sweaty and sticky
