Hi all this is my first post as i'm some what of a lurker lol
As title says i'm in need for some advice trying to get my ball pythons to breed. I have a spider female 3+ yrs old 2000g, pewter male 500g and a mojave male 650g both brothers and 2 years old.
I started cooling my rack 5 weeks i wanted to breed preferably my spider to my pewter. I have stat set to 92f on the hotspot during the day and 82f night, the ambient temp in my tubs at night is dropping to about 72-75 cool end. (I dont have much control over the room temp due to location).
All snakes are feeding as usual although my spider female has on occasion refusing her normal size rats and taking smaller offerings. She has been bowl wrapping and cool seeking, aswell as laying on her back and side during day time temps.
I starting pairing them 2 weeks into cooling a couple of days on and off. I'v observed them closely and seen nothing that would suggest anything is happening. After a few hours they seem to cosy up a bit and my spider seems to want to use the males as a pillow lol. I have noticed spots of what looks like urates? (like the white pooy stuff haha best description) they seem to urinate a little also but i dont know who is doing it.
I'm worried about missing the opportunity to breed to my female as her behavior is suggesting she is building follicles? and it seems my males aren't interested. Its hard to find answers to this problem and hoping someone wouldn't mind helping me establish is something is wrong or im being too hasty?
cheers in advance![]()
