Will they breed in a cage?

[camb]

so i recently built a rack for that has four tubs in it, and one of the tubes has my bp and one has my corn. but i have found that i really miss not seeing them crawl around in a natural looking environment(something that is kinda hard to create in a tub. but i also might want to breed them sometime soon, on a very small scale. what i'm saying is i guess that i have never seen any one breed ball pythons in cages with just as much ease as in tubs?

Are you referring to a wire cage?

[camb]

no no no no no! i meant a tank but not a screen top one, like one that i would build. or buy i guess.

[Bruce Whitehead]

95% of accidental breedings happen in tanks.

So yes, they will.

Adam Wysocki's first clutch came from snakes in a cage, so yes they will.

Also I think if Adam is as successful as he is and he started in a cage it would be like a good luck charm

I'm pretty sure I saw some pics posted with lock-ups happening in the cages...My memory is getting old, but maybe a sharper tack might be able to help out...But yes, they will breed in cages...

Sharp tack? Someone say sharp tack??? Well, I read the other day that drinking 3-5 cups of coffee may help to stave away dementia. Yeah baby, I am sharper than a tack!!!!

Here you go, breeding in RBI cages:




They breed in tubs too!


Heck, they're animals; they'll breed anywhere!! Did I ever tell you about the time my hubby and I were in the Smithsonian and... oh, wait, family friendly and all. Yeah, animals!!!!

Look you put a boy and a girl of breeding age together, and they both like one another, then as long as they don't feel threatened they're gunna do the nasty. It's just kinda what happens.
