Lol it sounded kinda ludacris for ball pythons but I did go meet a guy I met off of the classafieds to pick up a few snakes and his breeding meathod was similar to what you explained but he was doing it with snakes. HAHA I lost it on him, and I should have picked up on what you were saying.

Sorry again. LOL

Chris.

In regards to what you were saying, I've had issues with that before with a suprise rat pregnancy I had. I could be misunderstanding the advice that was given to me but once you remove a member of the colony, you should clean out the enclosure and change the bedding before reintroducing males that have been removed.

Not an experienced suggestion on my part but something that I was told. If you think the females are prego, I would leave your male out anyways. Maybe see how they progress? Just a suggestion, I have no idea what I am talking about with this stuff.

HAHA

Good luck!

Cheers,
Chris.
