Hi I am trying to breed my ball pythons can some1 tell me if this is right?

bloodboy128 Sep 18, 2004 02:13 AM

Ok well I have a baby burm at 30", a baby blood python at 15" and 2 adult ball pythons.
My male ball python is house in a 40 breeder tank as well as the female in another 40 breeder tank. The male is 44" in length and the female is around 50" in length. They are both about 2.5-3 years old. Both cages are heated with human heat pad covering half the tank giving hot end to 90-93 and cool end around 80. I gave no nighjt time drops until i startted breeding. In the middle of July I had the whole cage go about 85 for 3 days. then i had it go to 80 all around for 3 days and finally i had it 80- during the day and 75 at night with 10 hours light and 14 dark. I stopped all feeding in beginning of July. They are still in the cool period right now. When do I introduce them and what do I do from her? I have never bred anything before except mice so I read alot about this but i Just want more advise...
thanks,
Jake

There are a few websites that'll have that type info, just do a Google on Ball Python Breeding.

The Dr. Seward DVD would probably be a lot of help, too.
