    COMPLETE breeding walk through

    Can someone go through the WHOLE process of breeding ball pythons? From choosing two snakes that you want to breed to caring for the hatchlings? I think it'd be kind of interesting to hear exactly what goes on when you breed.

    Re: COMPLETE breeding walk through

    Might I suggest the search function. Thats alot of information for someone to sit and type out. There are tons of great threads with loads of info already here on that topic.
    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

    And check out the Sticky threads in the Breeding section of the forum. Cruising around the Breeding sub-forum in general should answer all your questions.


    As for choosing your breeding pairs, general rule of thumb is to pick the best examples of the morphs or snakes to breed together.
    If a snake is a poor example or pet-grade, most people here would say it is not breeding worthy and should not pass on those genes. It just muddies up the gene pool. In the end, it is your choice on what to breed, but that's the general consensus.
    Poor examples will more likely breed more poor examples in general. And vice versa where A+ grade snakes will more likely breed more A+ grade animals as well.

    I know, but I was looking for something that's all put together. Thus why I labeled it COMPLETE walk through :p I haven't found any complete guides so far.

    You could always go through all the threads and make the guide yourself :p It's a ton of work to write this up.

    And this is the problem with this country.

    Just do your own research and see what you like, breeding snakes isn't set to one specific way of doing it, there are tons of different ways. Just do your own research and come up with a plan.
