1. What method of breeding have you found works for you?

Is there a one true method? For me, it's wait till the female and are at perfect weight and stick them together.

2. Should I incubate or leave the eggs with the female?

I vote incubate.

3. What age/weight do you breed at?

Females: 1500g+ and their third winter.
Males: 700g+ and their second winter.

4. Any good resources to look into for morphs?

Morph Market and World of Ball Pythons

5. What to you use as breeding boxes? Containers? Tanks? etc.? and What Size?

I use 36q for females and males. 6q for hatchlings, 21q for sub adults.

6. Do you brumate/cooling period?

I breed during fall and winter and the room my snakes are in naturally cools down. Heat tape is at 90F all year round.

7. Do you follow a breeding season?

October is when I start pairing. Ball pythons will breed all year round though.

8. What morphs should I add to my collection?

This isn't something we can tell you. It's whatever you want.

9. Is there a difference between Lesser and Butter? I have seen that as of now there is no proven difference between a banana and a coralglow correct?

No, there is no difference between Lesser or Butter and same thing with Coral Glow and Banana.

10. Any other information you might find helpful?

Always have a plan before breeding. Have everything you need before breeding, incubator, racks, food supply, heat source, money for vets. Anything can happen and it is NEVER predictable when or what will happen.

Any input have a been given bad advice I want was is best for my snakes.
That is too small. I would wait another year or until she gains more weight. Always better safe than sorry. Refusing for three weeks isn't something to really worry about but if she is losing A LOT of weight very quickly, the worst thing you can do is breed her.
