    Re: Are your Balls for breeding?

    Chester is strictly a good snakie friend, and maybe I'll be able to get him a REAL girlfriend, so he wont enjoy being in my shirt too much Im kidding, he is a great snake, and if I get him a female, he'll still be a great snake, and I'll still love him and think the same of him.

    Re: Are your Balls for breeding?

    Yes I am for breeding.

    Before my first clutch came just last year, I would have said that I plan on breeding because it would be cool and maybe I could make a few bucks.

    Today, after my first babies hatched and they have either passed (heating incident) or been "sold" (more like adopted out), I would say that I plan on breeding because if you love the animals, it's an experience like no other to watch babies pip and hatch. To take care of them like they're your own children, watch them go through their first shed, celebrate on their first successful feeding. And then weighing them, watch them grow and their colors change, keeping records on each of them. If you love these animals, and you are willing to care for the young for as long as you need to, you will enjoy the experience of breeding them.

    Re: Are your Balls for breeding?

    I plan on breeding to produce my own designer morphs, and i'll definitely be trading and selling some on the way.
    Absolutely obsessed with ball pythons!

    Re: Are your Balls for breeding?

    Right now I am happy to just have my ball as a pet. Since I am new to the world of herps, it will be a while before I am confident enough to consider breeding them, but it is a possibility.

    Re: Are your Balls for breeding?

    I'm somewhat planning to. But I may only try one clutch. They are pets first and I have trouble trusting just anyone with an animal in my care. It will be hard to let any go.

    Re: Are your Balls for breeding?

    First and foremost mine is a pet. While I`m just as passionate about herps especially BPs as anyone, I`m not planning on breeding mine until I get my hands on a morph. My aim is to get a pastel or a pair and breed them to get supers and go on from there.

    Re: Are your Balls for breeding?

    I originally acquired mine as pets. But, a buddy of mine who bred convinced me to end celebacy(sp?) with them. As my colection grew, so did my interest in breeding to help pay for my hobbly. Now, I want some morphs, and they ain't cheap. the extra income i could earn from selling morph babies in the future will definately be a much needed help. However, my goal is to keep my collection of BPs small, to a limit of 25 so that I can give each one 1 on 1 attention and handling.
