A thought just came to me: I know some reptiles can lay eggs even if they haven't been bred. Do female balls do this? If so, wouldn't males make "better" pet snakes for those who have no intentions of breeding? Just thinking this way because wouldn't it be a pain to deal with an egg laying female that is only laying duds?
I hope this isn't the case with balls as I was planning on starting with a female as my first snake, that way if I ever decided to expand further into the hobby I'd already have one fattened up.
I know this might be a silly question to some of you more experienced folks, but I have searched around for the answer and can't seem to find the info anywhere!
