getting to breeding size

[ARBallMorphs]

Being a 2013, it would put her at just about 1.5-2 years old for the 2015-2016 season (assuming she was born early in the year). It's POSSIBLE she could make it, but continue to feed her weekly and don't push too much or too large food on her.
If she makes it up to 1500g by that time, palpate her to check for follicles. If she has those she is ready.

hey no worries i wont "power feed" as that just can't be good for her

There is never any guarantee, remember that right now she is growing and her metabolism is very different then what it will be in a few months, I have had female growing and breeding at 18 months (they were actually 1800 grams by then) but the majority will breed at 2 years, however I have had many females also not breeding before 3 years of age simply because when they reach 1000 grams they hit a wall, stop feeding and stop growing.

Again there is no guarantee even if she is ready does not mean she will go that season that's why you should not put all your eggs in the same basket and should have more then one female to pair.

hey yeah i know there are no guarentees, and i am not placing all my bets on this girl, i was just wondering as she is the biggest female i have atm and there for thought that she could be the first ready for breeding.

oh i forgot to quote/reply to CryHavoc. well i was talking about the traditional breeding season, as to me it seems easier to handle else you have to controll the temp in each tub individually wich would make things a bit harder on me and i wanna breed them just for the fun and kicks


i am rebuilding my collection atm as i had some problems about 4 years ago and had to sell some and gave away most of my ball pythons to some guys wich i knew and i was certain they would take good care of them and i am still in contact with those guys

atm i have an female 2013 orange ghost 320 grams, female 2013 albino 450 grams and a female 2014 super fire 76 grams

and comming tuesday i'll be picking up a male+female 2014 pastel het. piebald from one of those guys i gave some of my ball pythons too when i had to.
