I am after some information on large scale breeding. Such as the cage system and watering system. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
I don't breed on a large scale (only for my needs) but as far as housing goes a rack system (commercial or homemade) with watering system will definitely be a must, this is a pic of the one I made



The DIY is available here on this forum http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=41913 bigger racks such as this one http://www.ralphdavisreptiles.com/in...ves/oct-03.asp can also be built.

The humane way to euthanize feeders is by using a CO2 chambers, I don't have a big need so I only use a small paintball canister and 15 quarts tub (total cost $50)



if you need to euthenize a lot of feeders you will need to go bigger.
