Over the last few weeks, I have been looking into breeding. I have been doing this for two reasons... First and foremost, my absolute love of ball pythons. They are a beautiful creature that, in my opinion, is extremely misunderstood. My second reason was to possibly use my love of the animal as a way to make some sort of supplemental income so that I can stay home with my children and still help provide for them. I have been doing loads of research but I still have some questions, most of which really come down to personal preference, opinion, or dumb luck, but I do like to hear other's opinions and experiences with these things.

First of all, do you prefer maternal incubation or using an incubator? (I would probably use an incubator, but I am quite curious about this one.)

What incubator do you believe to be the best for incubating BP eggs?

If you were to make your own incubator, what did you use and how did you ensure that it was perfect for the eggs?

How many of you breed and make a reasonable profit from it? Do you believe that you made the right decision?

What suggestions or insight can you guys give me into the world of breeding ball pythons?


Oh... And, over the past few weeks, you guys have helped me grow in my knowledge and love for ball pythons and I want to thank all of you for not once getting frustrated with me for all the silly questions that I asked when I first got my babies.
So, thanks for all your help, and for continuing to assist me, and others, whenever we need it. <3.
