MY FIRST LOCK

mugencrx Nov 23, 2008 09:07 AM

Well this morning I woke up o find my first lock, 05 male bell pastel locked up with an 04 normal female. I am defintely excited for this is my first breeding season, and I am trying to be selective about my breeding since I have a small collection of only 10 ball pythons. I included a pic its not the best but its all I have enjoy. I hope everyone has a great breeding season!

Congrats on your first lock! Personally I wouldn't be touching them if I were you though. The males hemipenes can be very fragile and if moved around too quickly or harshly you could damage the males penes. I'm sure you wouldn't want to take that chance when its only your first lock and the male could be damaged for the rest of the season if his penes damaged.
