Breeding a male ball python at 350 plus grams

[JASBALLS]

We will see. Bubba the Bee is right at 360g and today is the first time that I've caught him locked...

Looks like she is Glowing Jen! Any other males been with her yet?

Yeah she is really bright.. I was afraid my two 07 males were not going to breed so I first paired her with my normal. Then my black pastel had his way with her (he is 450g) and now bubba.

Should be an interesting clutch.... (fingers crossed...)

Can a individual clutch from a Female BP have multiple fathers if more than one breeds with her or is it a first successful fertilization affects all the babies?

They can have multiple fathers, but only one father can fertilize each egg. A lot of breeders are doing this now.

In other words, if you bred a male spider and a male pastel to a normal female, you could get spiders, pastels, and normals, but would not be able to make bumblebees.

My Fire started to breed at 400 grams. But he's growing fast and is around 500 grams now.

Wow, I never knew it could work like that.

Good info to have. I kinda figured if the first part was true that the second condition would go with it! Thanks! If our Pastel het albino makes wieght by the beginning of fall we will try breeding him and rotate him with our Normal male until we see the Pastel lock then the normal will be out of there and the pastel will be rotated in and out on an individual basis.

If you do that, You wont know what animals are possy hets or just normals.

I have heard of people breeding a spider male and pastel male to a normal and getting both pastels and spiders out of the clutch. Very rare though, but it has happened.
