Hey,

Didn't think they'd breed this season (they are 2 1/2 yrs) but there they were going at it for 2 days!!!! Wheee hewww!!!
Anyway, I have another male, should I introduce him for 'added variety?' How long before she lays? How should I take care of the eggs? How soon before they hatch. Did I mention, this is the COOOOLEST!

Peace,

Stevo

$9 Canadian ($1.50 US). It will explain everything. You have over 2-3 months before you will see eggs because the chain of events is:

1) Cycling
2) Mating
3) Follicular development
4) Shed
5) 1 month later, ovulation
6) 1 month later, shed
7) 1 month later, lay eggs.

Not always, but that's what I've seen since 1995 and that's what's been documented.

This is how your breeding takes place every year?

For the past 8 seasons it has (for Ball Pythons).
