As with many of you, this is kind of a hobby for me. I only have a total of 7 ball pythons, three breeding females this year (2 normals and 1 pastel).

Clutch 1: Pastel Male/Normal Female – Three weeks into incubation, my little zoomed incubator freaked out and shot up to well over 130 degrees while I was at work. It cooked my 8 egg clutch
Clutch 2: Pastel Male/Normal Female – 5 Pastels, 1 Normal and a Pastel that didn’t make it full term...the egg started showing signs pretty early that it wasn't going to make it.
Clutch 3: Pastel Male/Pastel Female – 3 Super Pastels, 3 Pastels, 1 Normal.

I haven’t sexed them yet, but pretty good odds. Next year I’m going to need a new incubator though because my Spider and Lesser females are over 1500 grams and ready to breed. 5 clutches aren’t going to fit in that little zoomed incubator unless I get really really creative with my containers. That or I sell my two Normal breeders to start raising those supers....assuming there is a female in the mix.

Next year my Pastel Male will pair with my spider, pastel and normal females and my vin russo will pair with my Lesser. I may pick up a pinstripe to toss into the mix as well.
