Its pretty simple.....ball pythons are really rabbits in disquise....lol.
Males can breed at 4-6 months, boas- atleast minimum 14-16 but not always with good results....
Female Balls are very predictable sort of speak...easy to palpate so you know when they are "ready"..boas a little different...hard to palpate a 8 foot female,and hit or miss unless you nkow how your females always cycle... lol.
Also female balls can breed at weight, not exactly age....boas need both to be more succesfull.....although there are always exceptions to the rules.....
Plus, even though boas have more babies per litter(or clutch)......One male ball would produce(or can) more babies than one male boa on some occasions, as well as have atleast one female go......plus boas need 4 foot cages, ball pythons....a box...lol.
