Hey! Sorry for the comment on such an old video (you may not even see this) but how do you know that she’s ovulated in the first place ? So like how do you know that she’s even ovulated by end of November time? Or if you say lowered the temperature in the middle of the year (say July as an example) would that trick her body into ovulating? I’m not sure about that part. Is it the lowering of the temperate that makes her ready to breed by encouraging ovulation or is it just something that happens automatically like it does with us humans? Love your videos ! X
@Balls2U4 жыл бұрын
Ovulation occurs when the follicles are of a size normally 40-45mm and they pass through to be fertilize...... You will know when she ovulates as she will swell up like she's eaten a football. I hope this helps?......
@eggygeorge4 жыл бұрын
Balls2U yes thank you. So when she’s ovulated that’s when you drop temperatures ? Or do you wait till she’s swelled up, introduce a male and then drop temp?

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.

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 :)

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Keo kai the snake Guy the standard way is to do a season, which lasts for 6 months.... This way you end up doing a season that fits your females, not yourself.

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.

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 👍

Top video Gavin. I have question for you. When do the females start to build follicles again? Im assuming this process starts pretty soon after laying.

Such an amazing video. One thing I’m curious on is how often do you feed your females when they start to eat like crazy? Thanks :)

When they are in the "feeding crazy" stage should you feed them more often or just just keep everything the same?

When the females go food crazy, do you feed them more often than you did prior to the season? Or keep them on their regular feeding schedule? Awesome video by the way.
