Thank you for all of the information. Especially about feeding during the brooding period. The majority of information we have seen also gave us the impression that you don't feed during this time, so thank you for telling us about your experience with this so we now know to feed her. This is all new to us, so we truly appreciate advice like yours. If you, or anyone else reading this can help with a question. We have a male blond pastel (dominant) ball python and a female hypo (ghost) ball python. We would love to know about what possible outcome we could have from breeding them. Also, anything else that you can share about before breeding or during the breeding process would be great and very helpful. Thank you.
