I know u probably will not take my advice but I wouldn’t even think about breeding for the first few years. The longer u own these the more u learn. And then u see the market is flooded with ball pythons. So why are u breeding? That’s the question. If u say your passionate about snakes I’m going to disagree because the fact that ur ready to breed and u don’t have a clue about what ur doing. If u did know u wouldn’t ask this question and u would know that it’s best to be an experienced keeper before u think about doing the tons of research before thinking about breeding. Do u have a thousand dollars set aside for mishaps, illness, equipment failure? Do u have a vet that really knows snakes? Do u have an incubator or are u thinking that a guy put them in a styrofoam cooler one time and it worked so I’ll do that?
If u can answer all those and be truly prepared then yeah go for it. But playing god with animals when u haven’t even owned one for more than a month is crazy to me
