I started breeding pumilio(blue jeans) at 13, but balls was a year later by accident. I had snakes galore, but only had one huge female ball. My teacher at the time needed to house his ball(supposed female) so I put it in with mine. Low and behold a week or so later I saw copulation. I ended getting 6 eggs, and only 3 hatched since I let her sit on them. From that moment on the bug got me good, and I still get a kick out of it.
