    I've been roaming the net for a couple of months soaking up as much breeding information as I can (not breeding till next year) before I start and I have to hand it to you this is one of the better, more informative videos out there and added straight to bookmarks. Thank you for taking the time to fill others in, much appreciated. Keep it up man 👍

    Gavin...awesome! thanks for this since im a new breeder and first time this season. I was already counting out 3 females out of the 5 i have breeding due to the fact that they locked 3 times since November, 2 eat somewhat often and the other 3 dont eat as much. All 5 are in the 1500-1800 grams and ive been seeing 3 not really eating and getting thinner. NOW, that i know it can take up to 8 months for the female to grow the follicles, i feel more relaxed knowing i still have a chance and i dont need to raise temps again for those females i thought they were not going :) Thanks again from one Argentine to a British :)

    I know this video is kinda old but thank you so much for this! I'm considering breeding a few ball pythons and this helped a ton. You were calm but passionate in explaining and didn't rush. Must guides seem to rush through what to do and it makes me anxious. The illustration really helped also. This is honestly the best! Keep up the good work! ❤️

    Great video, Gavin. love the timeline you drew to explain the breeding cycle. I wonder if you plan on making a 'follow up' for new breeders about what to expect from hatchlings in the same way... I'm sure there are many out there that would greatly appreciate it. how long does that first shed take?... when should we start worrying about the hatchlings not eating? things to look for and when to see if the baby snakes are doing well and staying healthy... I'm sure you see where I'm going... and thank you again for all the wonderful, informative and fun videos. keep up the good work!

    @maddieg.5290 6 лет назад

    Great info!! I have plans of eventually breeding when I get a place of my own. I just got my first snake last Saturday, and she is the sweetest, most calm, and most curious girl, and a beautiful normal! Het for clown, too. I've always been interested in snakes and reptiles, especially ball pythons. So when I finally convinced my parents after almost two years of begging and proving myself, I got one! I love the clown gene too, so hopefully within a few years, I'll get a clown male, or something else, and make some beautiful babies!
    I especially love how you talk about the snakes, so kind and like they really matter. It makes me so happy! Keep doing what you're doing.

    Thank you so much. Am breeding a pair for the first time and feel like I’ve watched hundreds of videos, and still fully confused about the stages, what happens in each, and how long they last.
    I’m going to watch this again and do my own kiddie art in a notebook. Lol
    I love watching your posts, you have the greatest way of explaining the most complex or controversial topics in an easy to understand manner, while always presenting various viewpoints
    I love to understand the different opinions, think about what makes sense and form a well thought out opinion of my own.

    Fantastic video...just a quick question (from the uk) what is your hatchling setup? Looks like wham 3.5ltr and ikea rack? How do u heat it, cable, mat and belly or back heat? Need to build one myself and use the larger wham boxes for my other royals. This way it's matching :)

    This was really helpful I just got my ultrasound and I was confused at some of the behaviors of my females. I have one female that stopped eating after a few pairings about a month ago and she is still only at ~15mm follicles. Have you had any females go off food early in the cycle?

  • @henrikbrunberg1357
    @henrikbrunberg1357 6 лет назад +1

    Hi Gavin thx for this great explanation of the breeding cycle. I have a question. Prelay shed wich day do you count the 21-45 days from? When the snakes eyes turn grey or when the skin comes of? Im asking because i have a girl that dropped a realy small slug yesterday 2x1cm but nothing else have come out of her yet ( 48 hours later) and its 16 days after her skin came of or 21 days after her eyes turned grey. Earlier when I palpetted her i could feel 4 normal eggs. what should i do just wait? oh and this is teh first time i have a female BP laying eggs for me so im not sure whats going on here.....

    • @Balls2U
      @Balls2U  6 лет назад

      Some times they will get rid of slugs before the eggs, it's 21-45 days after they shed out

    Great video! My one question, what if we are small time hobbyists and just have our rack in our living room, how do you suggest keeping that ambient temp higher? Temp gun says front of my tubs are 70-75. Back is 87 on top of substrate and 90 on bottom face of tub. VE t stat. Cserpents rack.

      Dalton Strader you wouldn't need to, because you would have to work with the tub temps..... Those racks work well in living rooms

  • @leeguerrero1283
    @leeguerrero1283 6 лет назад

    Great video! I thought maybe breaking this video into a small series and create a playlist for it. You could even continue the diagram drawing method.
    Example:
    -What do you do during the 3-5mm?
    -What do you do during the 4-8 months?
    -What stage do you start putting males to females?
    -What stage do you stop putting males to females?
    -How often do you feed females during their feeding craze?
    -Explain ovulation in snakes.
    -What do you do in the period between ovulation and Prelay?
    -What do you do between prelay and eggs?
    I’m a detailed oriented person and I think you’re one of the best breeders out there that can break this diagram down even further. I’m not trying to tell you what to do but I think it would be a great help instead of looking through tons of videos for all this great information. It will make it a one stop shop of breeding information and I believe you would be the first to break it down like that. If you would like to ask me, as a soon to be new breeder, any questions I would gladly help.
    Thank you again for your hard work.

    Hi Gavin! Thanks for all the educational material you post in your channel. I have a question for you, hope you find the time to answer it. This year I'm trying your approach of putting a second male to some of my girls. How long do you wait after a lock with the first to introduce the second?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey, I was wondering if you could answer a question. My lesser female is usually a pretty bright grey and tan color. Today when I opened her cage up to feed her she had some Red blushing along her back and her belly has reddened. Do you think something may be wrong. Her cage is clean, she has fresh water, and has locked up twice this month with a male.

    • @Balls2U
      @Balls2U  7 лет назад +1

      silkystreebzz I have no idea, best thing to do is give it 24 hours and see how see looks then, if worse then take her to the vets 👍

    Thank you for your vid.
    Then we have the "odd balls" - I just came home from the vet today due to lack of fodder taking- and SURPRICE - the girl is gravid.
    Balls can show prematurely ovulations signs as you descripe like feeding frenzy (january) and keep on the breeding cycle with no mating or ever been caged with a male.
    This is really rare, and even more rare if one of her eggs are viable, but lets cross fingers - she should be due about the 20 of may 22

    What do you do once the babies hatch. I have seen some automatically put them in separate tubs. Then I've seen some put them back in the incubator in the same container

    Gavin I have an honest question. I am aware there is an accepted breeding season dictated by time in the year. I was approached by a group that is very desperate to have hatchlings available longer during the year if I were to cool one side of my snake room as I raised the heat on the other side while I am growing up new stock could I feasibly have my stock have two separate laying seasons throughout the year? I know even in ideal circumstances some snakes take longer and some more time but if I artificially cooled half the racks 4 months after the others could I achieve this effect? Information is not around for this approach. I have done it successfully with other species so I was unclear if balls had a fixed season or if environment could i fact alter the lay dates/hatch dates.

    The most explainable video about breeding ball pythons! Thanks! :) The only thing i missed were about how often and for how long at each time you introduce males to females cages? Last season i put my male to one female monday throught friday if no lock is seen and then the rest of month off, since i only had one female. This season i have two females and in the future more. Do you just continue each week on with new female and giving him the weekends off or exactly how do you go with it? :)

    If you have a moment, I have a female that I've had some trouble getting to go. Her very first time she slugged out (my fault, ambient temps were way too high), but I haven't been able to get her to go since. It seems that I can't get enough food into her to get her to ovulate. What do you suggest feeding wise? I feed my rats Mazuri rodent breeder (6F) and they get all the goods that I don't eat (leftover salad, eggs, asparagus, etc) so I don't believe that it is the quality of the rats that are causing the trouble. I do believe I am warming up my cages too early though and that is having an impact on this particular female. Thank you again Gavin!

    • @Balls2U
      @Balls2U  5 лет назад

      A few questions..... 1)Did your other females go on to lay for you?
      2) are you using the same male as before?
      3) how often do you put your male in with your female?

    • @bluemoon4562
      @bluemoon4562 5 лет назад

      My other females have laid for me no problem.
      I used a different male and she’s been receptive and locking with both.
      I usually pair my male once a week if he’s available or at minimum once a month.

  • @pandemoniummorphs8830
    @pandemoniummorphs8830 4 года назад

    I believe that my female is in the glow stage and her eye caps look like she's going to shed soon. She only locked up with a male for a little under 12 hours in the end of November but out male hasn't been wanting to lock anymore even with a week worth of separation. Now all she does is curl up in her water dish and not really move. She also went off of food about a week before the visual lock. First time breeder so this is all new and confusing. Any advice or what you think might be happening?
