@DAGECKOS101 - I remove the eggs as soon as I see that the female has completely finished laying. It's always good to look and feel the females belly afterward just to make sure there aren't any eggs left.
@DavidBlandinii - Yes I sell the hatchlings that I do not need to keep for holdbacks. I have people that buy them and pricing is variable depending on the morph :)
The reason they like the cooler side and to wrap on the water bowl is because the follicle/egg development needs cooled temps. That's why you drop the temps slightly. It's less stress on your animals as well.
@armandin2048 - These 'mutations' are only mutations of the color and pattern. These snakes live perfectly happy, healthy lives and behave just the same as a "normal" snake. It's the same as different types of dogs (black and yellow labs, etc. )
@9025skyman if you have enough snakes you can make a living off it just think u get two of the same snake say u get a 5000$ snake and another 5000$ snake u breed them you get like 30 eggs in 2-3 months you can make 150,000 in 3 months so and you can do that 4 times a year 4x150000 600,000$ a year just for 2 5000$ snakes just think if you had a store full of 5000$ snakes
@TheUSAHaxor one thing their has never been 1 ball python thats has laid 30 eggs in one clutch that python would have to be like 12,000 grams which ball pythons really get the biggest at 5,000 and you need people to buy the 5000$ snakes and if you got 2 of the same snakes say a pastel to a pastel you would make supers which cost more
do you ever find they become aggressive when they are put together, either with you or each other? or when they lay do you have trouble getting the eggs away from the females?
@dandantheminiman - No there isn't usually any aggression when pairing although the females are defensive of their eggs. I have tried to get a video but it is too difficult with one hand. The best way to do it is just slowly lift them off from behind and then once they are off the eggs they usually return to normal.
iv got a baby female lesser which one in years to come i can breed out. im doing well in the past 2months iv been bitten 3 times by balls. once by mine and twice by my mates. im trying to not let it put me off.
@jbreptiles1 - If I see a lock then I separate them as soon as they are done. If not then it's about 3-4 days. After that they are separated and get fed/watered.
@BallPythons9 All the ball pythons in the tubs.Im about to breed my male spider and my pastel.But I will need a place to put the snakes that hatch do they not need the lamps that I have on my 55 gallon tanks? do I just need to regulate the temperature with a thermostat?
@IHMAIWTD69 - You will need small individual cages/tubs for each hatchling. A rack would be your best option. Try animal plastics. And yes you will need a thermostat on your heat tape.
i have kept my male and female ball pythons in a 40 gallon tall there whole life and just found out there genders... will they breed considering they have been together there whole life.or should i seperate them. they are 2 years old. plz respond
@jacobfare12 - I would separate them mostly because at 2 yrs. the female may try to breed but is most likely too small and could die if she tries to pass eggs.
i have kept my male and female ball pythons in a 40 gallon tall there whole life and just found out there genders... will they breed considering they have been together there whole life.or should i seperate them. they are 2 years old
@OneSimpleHacker - For me it started with a single pet normal female and from there I purchased a few snakes a year and kept a few that I produced each year. What you buy or how many you buy depends on how much money you have to spend, what you like for morphs, and how serious you are about this hobby. If you are serious you will want to go for the higher end animals, but if it is just a side project for fun than a couple snakes that you find interesting will do.
@Wolftent561 - You could but I prefer to separate them so I can get the female back on food and the eggs have a much higher hatch rate in an incubator.
That comment below that said how did you convince your parents , its true 1st one is usually hardest but I didn't go through that lol I just bought nd let my mom deal with it lol but she was okay now I own 2 since I just sold 2 of my snakes today but its easier to get another one if I wanted to :) hope to breed mine when they get older
@kmsalty400 - The tubs in my adult rack are a little wider and taller than a 41 quart and it is a freedom breeder rack. My other racks are from animal plastics.
@wygydude - This year I had 4/5 females go. One is currently gravid and the other 3 laid a combined total of 20 fertile eggs (all of which hatched) and 1 infertile egg. I am now using lower temps of 80 on the cool side and 85 max on the hot side. For breeding (and possibly in general) I may switch to an 80-82 ambient only temps and then 89 degree hotspot only for gravid females.
@mickel44554455 - I made it. It's basically a wine cooler with the cooling mechanisms removed, then I put flexwatt heat tape in the back, and it is controlled by a herpstat thermostat. That's basically it.
@knifelover94 - Not quite sure how I convinced them really. Just prove you are educated and responsible. It is hardest for them to let you get the first one and then once they see how cool snakes actually are the rest are easier. Sometimes if I don't have quite enough money for something myself they will help me out but I always pay them back eventually. Your parents will be more likely to let you have snakes if you pay for them yourself.
@BlubbReptiles - Technically you can breed anytime but it depends more on when the female is ready. There is really no set season because not all the females decide to start developing as soon as it hits November. lol I start in October and my last female just ovulated a few days ago.
So you don't drop temps? Should I put the male and female together for about 4 days, then remove the male from the female to rest for about 4 days also? Is there any risk that the snakes will get angry at each other, or do they accept each other from the beginning? Good vid, thanks !
@BlubbReptiles - No I don't drop temps and it is working great. I usually put them together until I see a lock, then I separate them once they are done breeding. If I don't see a lock then I leave them together for a max 3-4 days in case they breed at night or just need more time. After that I give them at least 3 days to rest but it is normally longer and you don't have to breed them every week.
@BlubbReptiles - I guess there is a chance that they wouldn't like each other but if so then they most likely would just not breed. It would be VERY rare if it lead to aggression. Normally if they don't breed it is just because the timing is a bit off or one of the snakes (usually the female) is just not ready at that time.
I like your set up. your "enclosures" for the snakes aren't to big to take up a bunch of space but you give them enough space to roam unlike some others that I've seen that are barely small enough for the snakes to move. I bet your snakes are happy
How big are ur females when you breed them like the smallest weight? Im gona breed ive done boas im doing pythons now bps and i wana know i hear 1250 grams and 1500 grams how big do u breed them at?
@soltaylor2156 - I prefer to wait until at least 1500 grams, but I have bred females at around 1350. With smaller females you really have to know your snakes and read their signs. If they have the age, they're going off feed, wrapping their bowls, etc. then sometimes it means they want to breed. Also throwing a male in can sometimes get them back on feed or boost their appetites so that they will be 1500+ grams by the time they lay. The main thing is just be careful and do what is right for them
@leopardgecko829 - I cut the eggs once the first one pips or on day 55. I leave them in the incubator until all the babies are out, then I wash them off and put them in a tub in the rack on damp paper towels. I also give them a small water dish. Once they have shed I separate them into individual tubs with dry paper towels as bedding.
@megapatch80 - It is usually best to buy from a breeder as they will be able to give you the highest quality animal and the proper info on keeping them.
@deadinsideemo1 - They are basically called "snake racks" and there are a variety of places to get them or you can build your own. I like animal plastics, ARS, freedom breeder, and there are many other good racks.
you can but its not good for the snake if you go smaller then that. you dont get much eggs and the eggs are much smaller. and you have a chance of the babies to die.
@thesunsetreptiles - The size of the male does not affect the number or fertility of the eggs as long as the male is mature enough to produce viable sperm. Most of that depends on the female. I have bred males at 500 grams with no problems at all. Now should a first time breeder do this, maybe not, but as long as you keep an eye on the animal and really know what you are doing then 500 grams is more than a safe weight. I know a few people who have successfully bred males at 350 grams.
@thesunsetreptiles - Everyone has there own opinion, but I believe this is ok as long as you keep an eye on them. I know people who have bred them much smaller.....
Wow thats a big Ball Python clutch!! How much does the mother weigh?
Great video by the way! So when do the females begin developing these 'folicles'? Like do they begin that when they first begin breeding, or before that? Are folicles what makes males want to breed?
@rephibiankid - Mom was 4000+ grams before she laid. They begin developing at different rates, usually once you start to breed/introduce males, but sometimes before. It just depends on the female really and can be totally random sometimes. Follicles grow throughout the season until the female ovulates. At that point they are fertilized and become eggs which grow until they are laid. Males will generally breed any female who lets them, but often females with larger follicles are more receptive.
awesome, awesome vid i didnt cool mine this year just to try it it seems good but i been wondering how you do it thats awesome they all look great and i hope all five get you a clutch
Great video, I do reduce temps myself prior to breeding but I do know of other breeders that don't drop the temps at all and they seem to have equal success.
@94madmike - My ambient temps drop a few degrees, but other than that no. So far 3 out of 5 females have ovulated. 1 has laid 10 fertile eggs and the other 2 are still breeding so it seems to be going fine!

At that point they are fertilized and become eggs which grow until they are laid. Males will generally breed any female who lets them, but often females with larger follicles are more receptive.

Great video, I do reduce temps myself prior to breeding but I do know of other breeders that don't drop the temps at all and they seem to have equal success.

@94madmike - My ambient temps drop a few degrees, but other than that no. So far 3 out of 5 females have ovulated. 1 has laid 10 fertile eggs and the other 2 are still breeding so it seems to be going fine!
