Breeding question

Brian67 Oct 30, 2006 12:26 PM

I've been out of the snake game for almost 6 years, until recently. I recieved a nice adult pair of Ball pythons from a co-worker. Anyway today I woke up to find them breeding away! My big ? is what should I do next? I know she won't eat and I shouldn't handle her much but do I just wait for nature to take it's course? I feel like a bonehead for asking these questions it's just most of the knowledge has left my old feeble brain...lol

This may seem like a stupid question - but are you trying to breed them or were they just being housed together and were breeding? And if you are (trying to breed them) - are you prepared and able to care for and/or find suitable homes for their young? If not - then you might want to consider separating them.

Good luck and congrats on the new additions.
