I’ve been receiving a lot of comments about how difficult it is for inexperienced ball python breeders to get information on how to breed ball pythons, I thought I would try and help those that are stumbling through the process. Please give me a call at 408.981.6694 or e-mail me at fgsnakes@sbcglobal.net if you have any questions

@Jamzen000
That’s great, I’m glad to help.

@Jamzen000
Females should be at around 1500 grams and some males have bred as small as 400 grams.
Good luck

Billy, Never take your snakes off feed, never!
Brian / FGS
thanks for the advice…when do you take your snakes off feed…i heard you have to do that for a month before you group the pair…i might be wrong…
i just got a proven breeding pair of normal ball pythons. female is about 4 1/2 feet long and the male is about 4. they are in different tanks…large tanks. will they breed if i put them together?
thank you so much Brian.. Helped me out alot with some confusing questions.. a few more tho: what age or size should ball pythons be put together for breeding?
Thank you Brian.. really helped me out with some confusing questions..

Zachary

Hey Bill,
Most snakes are nocturnal. They need to thermal regulate, but don’t need to bask under a heat lamp. Most snake breeders use flex watt heater tape. This allows the snake’s cages to heat up from below the animal. Only a portion of the tub is heated so the snake can find an area to cool off if it wants. If you have any more questions please feel free to call me at 408.981.6694.

how come when people use tubbs you dont need a light source i thought snakes had to bask? i dont know much about snakes.
@JRmcfluffums101
Yes every weekend. Once they ovulate they will usually stop eating.

I use vermiculite, sorry but I don’t know anything about permilite.

okay, so after thanksgiving you shut the power off at night? thats kinda what i understood from the video? im sure im wrong because during the night my snakes would get VERY cold..u said dont let it drop below like 77 though.how do u do that with power off??im still real confused..srry slow learner! but could you kinda explain how to do all the temps to me a lil better just so i have a better idea. im kinda thinkin that you just leave ur space heater on..but i dont have one near snakes. thanks!!
@fgs9
Why do they die? I’ve never heard of this problem. Why don’t you assist feed?
@bondybuy
Thanks for your comment.
I now have just over 100 videos on YouTube. Just enter my name into the search box and you should be able to see them all.
Thanks
Brian / FGS
thats 1 lush snake you have there you should make videos to show off your others
is permilite and vermiculite the same thing for egg incubation. and wat do u use
@JRmcfluffums101
Yes, I do during the breeding season. My females will usually eat right up until they ovulate. My biggest concern is that my males continue to eat through out the season. Sometimes the males will go off feed and never go back, and eventually die. Make sure your males are in good weight before the breeding season.
Brian / FGS
i just have one more question. do u feed while there breeding
@JRmcfluffums101
