    first time breeding

    OK so I am breeding BPs for the first time I would have done more research before but this was kind of an accident so i figured I might as well give it a shot so my biggest question right now is the flexwatt tape is there any local places that might carry it i am trying to avoid ordering it online and paying more for shipping than the product itself i only need one or two feet to set up my incubator and the second question i have is gonna sound dumb and i think i already know the answer is no but do i have to put air holes in an egg tub?

    I have never seen any flexwatt for sale locally anywhere. And no you do not need to put air holes in the egg tub, just open once every 7 days to give them some air. Welcome to BP.net my friend

    There is a sticky for DIY incubators and egg boxes...and flexwatt is typically not available in retail. Shipping for just the flexwatt should not be that much, provided you dont need express shipping.

    Curious though...how does one "accidentally" breed ball pythons?

    Yikes,

    That could have went so badly wrong.

    We really advise one snake per cage at all times ( except for conjugal visits ) and 90 days quarantine for any new animals regardless of source.
