Breeding season starts whenever you want it to. It doesn't have to be November.
I'd hold off on breeding if you don't even know what the basic steps are. I've had ball pythons for 4 years. This will be my first breeding season and I have been researching and preparing since I started getting into BP morphs. I've spend a lot of time and money making sure I will be prepared for babies.
I suggest you do the same.
