I have bred before, but not Pythons. I was breeding Corn Snakes. I just took a 10 to 12 year break. With the Corn, and Kingsnakes I never had a snake not constrict is food. That is why I was asking. I realize that this is a newbie question, but I am not a newbie to snakes. I had a collection of about 16 different snakes, and 2 iguanas, and a Savannah monitor. If this was my first snake, or I hadn't bred before I would not be looking to breed now.
