You have to research research research. Buy books.

The Ball Python Manual by Philippe de Vosjoli is a start.

No problem. You pick up both those books and you'll learn A LOT about both corns and Ball Pythons! :)

And besides, they have really super pictures in them! *L*

Females should be no less than 1400g, preferrably more, before being bred, and should not be off feed. Males can sometimes breed around 3ft. I agree, read the books

The breeding season for me ends on April 1st.....that is when I warm everyone up. This season is basically over.......best to put weight on the female in preparation for next year.

Ball pythons have to be around 3 years old and you have to do nothing, just put them together and they will do their thing.
Any other questions just let me know.

I believe they do indeed need cooling Burmies, but I may be wrong. All the info I have ever read of heard about breeding Ball Pythons talks about cooling.

I haven't bred them before though and I own only one. So like I said I may be wrong. Have you bred them without cooling?
