Never breeding a bad thing?

[lurch9]

Just picked up my first ball python and happened to come across some things about bigger snakes like retics etc getting health problems from not breeding. Was wondering if ball pythons are same way or if I never breed my female will it matter? Thx

Im assuming your talking about a youtube video Jay from prehistoric pets out recently the death of a large female of his correct?

Frankly, im pretty sure that video was nonsense, and I doubt that animals death had anything to do with her lack of breeding.

Have to agree that that sounds like complete bull.

I can't comment on larger species since I do not keep them and so far I have not read any articles with serious data that would suggest so.
