This is what I'm not fully grasping - so maybe a little clarification might be in order - your signature shows you have 30 balls - most of which are 14.14 normals - are these the animals you intend on breeding? Are they of proper size and age? Have you read anything at all on breeding - if you end up with 100 normal offspring do you have a buyer for the offspring (ie a pet store or wholesale distributor that will take them?) if not are you prepared to properly house and feed these animals until you find them a good home? Because there isn't a big market for normals. These are all thing that should be taken into consideration BEFORE you start to breed.

With all that in mind - I recommend you buy the Ball Python Breeding DVD and watch if a few times [urlhttp://www.drseward.com/New_Site/NWbpbreeding.htm[/url]
