 First ever clutch results

october of last year i decided to attempt to breed my ball pythons.
my female, bertha


at first she was breeding with chicken my normal male


they locked 10 times before i got my male butter in there he also had around 10 locks


she laid 7 eggs and 54 days later i couldnt wait any longer to find out if it was chicken or the butter that was the daddy, even after cutting i wasnt too sure what i had but there was one that i knew was a butter


a few days later they emerged and i was super geeked to see i had 5 butters and 2 normals, chicken you are NOT the father!!!





i havent bothered to sex them yet they are so tiny and i dont wanna hurt them with my cement hands.i couldnt be happier with the results, the odds gods were smiling down on me this time!

So...she thought she could do "butter" than "chicken"?

Cough, cough.

Congrats!

What great odds! Super jealous. Are you planning to keep any of them?

Congrats I’ve always wanted to breed reptiles I’ve just never got around to it. Since I might be doing it in the future Was it easy to do or was it hard work?

ill be keeping one female, i have another clutch on the way and although id love to keep them all one is enough i guess.

baja its not that its hard but it is hard ha. i found it to be a very rewarding experience and im hooked, im not even done this season and already making next seasons plans.
its not alot of work all at once but more like a commitment of 5-10 minutes a day but the more you get going at once it can quickly become alot of work, the hardest part of breeding is the waiting and stressing over stuff, each phase takes a couple months so patience is huge, i learned i have none but am working on that.

if you decide to breed do alot of reaserch and have everything ready before you need it, would suck to do all the work of breeding and have no incubator ready or hatchlng tubs not ready.
good luck

That’s why I’m thinking about breeding garter snakes because you don’t need an incubator for them.

garters would be cool, either way breeding isnt a fast process i think they actually take longer so be ready to hurry up and wait but in the end its very rewarding
