    Re: breeding

    Your best bet would be to use the search function and read as much as you can. Then ask more specific questions as they arise.

    Here is a good link to start with.... http://www.ballpythons.ca/gallery/breeding.html

    I'd also check out all the stickies in the bp breeding forum as well....

    Re: breeding

    Isnt he asking if your male ball (for example) would have any problem breeding after being abstinent for many years..

    i assume it wouldnt be more trouble than a 2 year old male who has never bred...but i have -20 experience points.

    it seemed to me you guys didnt understand what hes asking....i hope i got it right...now maybe one of yall can have a good answer!!

    I can't understand what he's writing, much less what he's asking.

    Re: breeding

    I believe hes asking if a male snake will know what to do when paired with a female snake.. Even if it has never before encountered another snake, let alone a snake of the opposite sex..

    It would not encumber the snake's nature.. I believe that they would lock up just fine.. The act of mating is not a learned skill, its something that is engraved in their DNA.. They have to do it to survive.. ya know?

    As always, correct me if I'm wrong.

    Re: breeding

    Hah, yeah you did. I really don't know how much clearer you can be. Maybe his question is code *shrug*

    However, Scarcelime, I would really like to see pictures of your BPs setup.

    Re: breeding

    Hmm you sure he is not just asking this:

    If I put my supposed "male" with my teachers known female. And I see a lock, will that tell me if he is a male. This is because I can't go to a vet and have him properly sexed
