breeding ball pythons

[BallPython13]

In a few years(4-5) my hatchling will probaly be mature enought to mate.How could I trigger mating for ball pythons?Is it an easy snake to breed?:2yellow:

Well, if you have 4-5 years to research, it shouldn't be too hard. Balls are one of the most commonly bred snakes so I imagine that it can't be THAT hard to breed them. (this winter will be my 1st attempt at it so I can't speak from experince on this subject).

Just ask alot of question and read a lot of books (The Ball Python Manual) and care sheets. You'll be fine.

P.S. It probably won't take 4-5 years for your BP to reash breeding size....

I know it probaly wont take that long but the thing is,im 13 years old and my mom doesnt reaaly like my snake so I will have to wait to get more snakes...When im 17 Ill be moving out and I can bet you I will have hundreds of snakes.Ill stay on this board for years and ill update you on this in a few years

[garterguy]

why are you asking now if your waiting 4-5 years.resaerch it yourself for a few years and if it doesnt work then ask us

The person i got my bp from said he used to breed them but he said it was too hard.
