ps dr. seward dvd is in the mail!!!
First off welcome to the group incase i have not said this to you as of yet .Well before you take the big step into breeding, i suggest you make sure whatever snakes you have or might buy in the near future for your albino project be well cared for and kept at the proper temps.Breeding ball pythons is not just placing two snakes together and boom your a rich man.Since you allready know it will be at least 2yrs for normal female you allready have it shows you are on the right track of thought.I have never seen the Dr. Sewards DVD so i can not say anything about it.I keep my adult breeders in a 7 shelf 41qt rack and i also have a 9 level hatchling rack that will hold 36 12qt tubs and i have attached a pic of it for referance.Since ball pythons are easily stressed out most prefer to use these rack systems for them to live in.Now depending on your ability to build one or if your are like me buy one or two(i bought my adult rack and the hatchling rack) its up to you.If i missed any questions or if you have any other questions ask away as thats why this site and its members are here .Here is the pic of my hatchling rack as promised.
