Question

The Tank is also way to small for both of them. That tank is too small for one even. And in the one pic I saw soap bubbles???

The tape is a bad idea on a couple of fronts;

They will end up getting stuck on it eventually. You wouldn't believe the problems we have seen as a result.

It stops the snake going under the paper - that is actually quite a good hide for a BP as it touches them all over, is nice and dark, and is always the right size thanks to gravity.

The last one is actually why I like using it so much in my tubs. Plus of course it is cheap and easily replaceable.

I do think you need to start from step one and just get the basic needs of the snake care down. The book mentioned is prob the best it's also a iBook on your Ipad (paper book are for old people) but there is plenty of Internet info a you just have to find what is true ball python care or a care sheet just to sell more add ons from there stores.

That being said everyone here could be alittle help instead of condescending. We know you know more than us on this subject so us newbs have come here looking for answers from you pros . (something I missed here too)
after the petco flyer failed us and we found out the $200 "snake" aquarium we got was a bad idea for are snake, we came here so be helpful with your knolage not mean.

dont use soap on your snake it is fine for you your dog your cat you and most things with hair but no snakes
the news paper is gonna get all bunched up but that's cuz that's how they like it to hide no need to tape and the sticky is no good on scales
as for breeding I've got no experience in the matter (yet) but think your conditions aren't the best to make it happen but I don't know that's why I come here and read as much as I can

gday sir

In the snake world, does it matter if the two im trying to mate are siblings..??i know it's late but a week ago i separated them and started to lower temps at night to 70 degrees, before i put the male back in the female tank i plan to wash him a lil to remove any scent his sister remembers from him and hope they start making me money cuz times is hard..

ya'll dont know what im going thru, this been a project of mine for years, to see what kinda morph i could eventually START out with that a pair of NORMS could produce if any..MONEY is not the key factor in me wanting to breed them, WE all gotta start from somewhere this post was just a question....

If you want help then cool, that's what we are here for.
If your going to be a hypocrite and blow smoke up my hind end, please stop.

That being said.
Remove the tape out of the enclosure, there is no reason to tape the paper down.
Keep temperatures in the correct range.
Don't know if this is the first time you are pairing or if you are asking here now because she hasn't bred for you in the past?
She may not go for you ever if she isn't comfortable.
Fix all the husbandry issues and your luck might improve.

On your girl, normal as all I can see and even if on the slightest chance there is a drop of a one in a million chance that there is something in her to unlock I still wouldn't be breeding her to a normal male. Not worth it from a monetary stand point.
If you want to produce pinstripes, save up some cash and go buy a male, males are cheap then you can start off with a chance of producing a morph.

so with what ya'll know about different morphs markings on the underbelly, tell me what yall think she look like she's having when i get this breeding thing together..

[ECechoHO]

what are you talking about, aint blow smoke up anybodies.....my snakes been good since i bought them just wanted to know about the breeding part not the way i set MY tank up..It's easy for someone that has money to tell a person without money how to take care of their snake, if i had the money i woulda been done it..pinstripe ain't the type morph i want just was saying how it looks like she would produce one, but what does an all white belly mean in the het marker book..??

Just look up the " is this a morph" section on this site. There is a ton of variation on normal ball pythons. Nobody can tell you for sure 100% that your Snake isnt carrying some hidden Gene but from all the picture you have put up your snakes look like normal ball pythons.
