Well! We dimmed the lights, lit some scented candles, put on some Barry White...And then it happened.

Yes. Everything happened. Minus the candles, and Barry white.


We introduced my Pastel Ball Python, to my significant others
Blushed-Ball Python, and they instantly hit it off.

It was so neat to see them interact and take interest to each other so quickly. My male is smaller than the female, so I was a nervous wreck about letting them crawl together, or interact physically.

After a day or two of on and off introductions, we let them spend the night together in the females tank.

The next morning, we went to go check up on them, they were in a perfect lock, and were mating.

I don't know how long the mating process is supposed to go on for, but it's been almost a day that they've been locked.

Right now, since it's night time, they're both crawling about, and are interested in the tank lid, more than anything else. As usual.

It was great seeing the two of them together. They slept together in the same hide. It was cute.


As far as reproduction goes, what are the chances of her becoming pregnant?

I've noticed a lot of people take the eggs out once they've been laid. Is that done for any particular reason? The only reason I've noticed, is to weigh them, check their fertility, etc. Also, I've noticed a lot of mass-producers do it most of all.

If she were to reproduce and lay eggs, would it be alright to leave them in the tank with her?

I understand getting them away from her is a tricky process.

She's quite big, so I wouldn't want to make her angry.
