COMPLETE breeding walk through

[B.O.S Reptiles]

Why would you ask people to waste a ton of time writing up something you have no interest in doing? You have said you don't like you're ball, so why waste peoples time and energy? If you're curious, use the search function and do some research.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a waste of time or energy... Everyone who viewed this thread could learn everything they need to know within a single thread. A lot of people would benifit from it.

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.

BP breeding can't be written out like a text book. There is no one set way or method. Just because person A does it one way doesn't mean person B or C does it the same way. Everyone does it differently to reach the same results.

For example, some people cool their snakes prior to breeding. I personally don't cool. Some people leave a hot spot while others have no hot spot, but have a higher ambient. Some people leave their males in with their females every other 4 days while some just put their males in once a month. Etc etc. There is no one set way.

The point is, one person is going to write up a novel about breeding for you, but not everyone is going to agree or do that.

Just read the threads and the stickies, watch YouTube videos, and talk to different breeders. Research and observe how other people do it to come up with something that will work for you and your animals.
