hi guys i successfully bred ball pythons last year and ive had a pair of kings since 04 taht i really wanna breed. Ive been told their ready ( size and age wise). Can someone point me in the right direction? whats the best caresheet for breeding kings? or what do you suggest i do? im really nervou sof having one eat the other they both have pretty good feeding responses.
thanks in advance
sorry about my previous typo-filled post. im at work and doing countless things at once =)
In the Features section is my favorite article, Breeding Colubrid Snakes by Steve Osborne of Pro Breeders. It is a bit old but the info is great. It is a great reference and I have used a lot of his info to get myself started.
My favorite part has to do with feeding. If I am not mistaken he says a snake may need 100-150 food items during its first year to successfully breed within 2 years...this is from memory and if it is not EXACTLY what it says, people please....do not jump on my back OK haha.
I can tell you this, I have counted the numbers of pinkies and fuzzies and so on and I know where he is coming from on this.
Anyway I love the article and its right here on Kingsnake.com
Highly recommended
Tom Stevens
