I have groups of up to four females to one male. That is the maximum females I use. I would rather have more breedings per female than more females per breeding. I started cycling in october and started pairing them up in november. Usually rotating the males every 3 to 7 days. I started the male with a female from group 1 then group 2 & so on. Yet I have had females lay from all groups, not just the first bred. I currently have 22 clutches laid with about 60 more to go. Looking at various shed dates, post ovulation sheds, etc, I should still have females laying through june or july, and I only bred them from the beginning of november to the beginning of february. Hey ball pythons are smart!! If they can figure out a way to frustrate you THEY WILL.
