Um, I do have one quick question:

One of his females laid a litter of babies in early September and I was wondering, *IF* we chose that path - how soon would it be safe to breed her again? She's a 6yr old ball python and had about 30 babies. Any help would be apperciated. What kind of substartes work best for these lizards?

Could you have the type of snake wrong? I bet its a Boa Constrictor that he has.Ball pythons lay eggs and i am sure that no Ball python has ever laid 30 eggs.Boas give live birth.
