Wow, I have to say, this is the most experienced site I have ever been on (for forums, i mean).

I have a question about our breeding ventures this year. Well, probably more worries. I have a very modest ball python collection consisting of 2 big girls and an '06 male pastel 50% het hypo and just an '07 spider (i'm sure you are all laughing at how cheap my morphs are).

I just planning on cycling this year and seeing what happens. Both boys are producing sperm plugs and are up to weight. This will be the first year breeding for everybody and I think that is what is making me the most nervous of all.

I just keep thinking, what if someone isn't fertile, what if one of the males won't breed, what if we get breeding, but then nothing else? What if just nothing happens?

I have been growing all of these guys up for years and awaiting this year, which i thought would be a joyous one, and I am so stressed out with all f these questions.

I just have this feeling that something will go terribly wrong! I think i would cry.

Please give me reassurance. What are my odds of someone (important) not being fertile or all the eggs being bad or just not produce any at all?

I also was wondering when the best time to start pairing was? I've kind of been waiting for everyone to go off feed. The pastel is but no one else yet. I know for a fact my biggest girl, 2100 grams, will go off feed b/c she did last year.
