How I Breed Ball Pythons

Here is a quick vid on how I breed BP's. This is meant to help people, but you should always get info from as many sources as possible. I forgot to add that I like to breed males at least 1 yr. old and 500 grams, and females at least 3 yrs. old and 1500 grams (people breed them younger/smaller, but those are what I would consider "safe" weights and ages). I obviously don't have the snakes or experience of the Barkers, BHB, etc. so just use this as a reference and get info from as many good sources as possible. Here are a few:

your pewter is very ugly

[BallPythons9]

@people1998100 - Thanks! ;) 

[DavidBlandinii]

How or where did you get your incubator?

[BallPythons9]

@DavidBlandinii - I made it myself out of an old wine cooler and flexwatt. There are tutorials on the net just do a google search!

[DavidBlandinii]

@BallPythons9 Thank you very much, another question, do you sell your snakes? And if so, do you have people that buy them? How much you sell each?

[BallPythons9]

@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 :)

[BallPythons9]

@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. )

How much for a normal or spider

[BallPythons9]

@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.

how long should i keep the snake with u her eggs

[peacehopelovemusic]

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.
