[@Sammyseuss412]

I just found your videos yesterday, so glad I did! I am starting some ball breeding projects, this time just for myself, making what I want to make, as opposed to doing it as a business. I've been doing reptiles for years, but I'm always up for learning. You can never learn too much! Thanks!

[@DarthInsomnis]

I know this may be silly, but that intro killed me! Also very informative video!

[@OlympusReptiles]

Darth Regius ty! We are all about the silly, but it is getting hard to come up with new ball jokes

[@karupshan]

I don't ever comment much, but you kill it all the time. I love that you actually care about your snakes health and well being. I've learned so much as I'm a beginner breeding. Hope to be able to support you on patreon soon. Just blew everything for a decent rack system and 8 new babies. One day I hope to have a OR snake in the collection. Keep up the amazing work and videos! Much love from us here!

Thank you for stating your reasoning behind breeding a bit later than others! I typically choose 1450 - 1500 as well for similar reasons, and had an acquaintance berate me for not breeding one this year that is just shy of 1300.

[@Toph910]

First thing I learned in population genetics: inbreeding is not necessarily bad. Best example is Alan Templeton's work with the Speke's gazelle. Avoidance of inbreeding of the captive population was actually leading to problems.

Feed your snake weekly bruh... especially if you're looking to get it to breeding weight, but you should just do that anyways.

I have a male ball python who is about 3 years old and isnt very big but seems to be growing more. How much should he weigh?

[@ravenbeaudine7281]

Thank you so much for making these very informative Q&A videos. I’m just starting to get into breeding. Purchased my first male and female this past week. I got the female as a hatchling, as a matter of fact she can’t even come home for another 3-4 weeks. And my male was born in late 2019 I believe. I wanted hatchlings for two reasons. One, I want to be able to raise her and make sure she is properly fed and healthy as well as has a good temperament. I want to condition her throughout her life to be able to breed healthy babies. I also want to be able to have this time to gather the things I need when I start breeding. So, right now I am watching several videos and also doing other research to learn as much as I can. You answered a lot of my questions. A big question I had was about incestuous breeding. I didn’t know if it would be ok and if it would cause problem and if you could do it at what point do you bring in an outside line and let me just say, you explained it flawlessly. It makes perfect since. Also the weight thing with both the male and female. And the sexing thing. I know what it looks like as far as whether it’s a male or female but had no idea about the sperm plug and how to tell if the male will be viable. I want to thank you so much for this video and want to request that you make a couple of other videos if you haven’t already done so. That is: a video listing every piece of equipment you need to have to have a successful breed, and what you need it for. What you need after you get the clutch, what you need while you’re raising the snakes to be conditioned like scales and racks and whatever else you need. Nutrients to feed the feeders that would be good for the snake to ingest. Just everything from A-Z that you need when you’re first starting out as a hobby to when you get bigger like to the point you’re at. I’d also like to request that you do a video explaining the ins and outs, the good and the bad about breeding. And how to build an incubator yourself for the eggs. What the best incubator will be and how to properly use it. I just want to learn everything I possibly can learn to be successful when the time comes in two or three year. I’d also like to see a video about your story. What got you started, what intrigued you the most about breeding ball pythons in particular. How did you get your start? Was it easy at first or did you struggle a little bit? What was the best thing that had happened with breeding and what is the worst? What was the most expensive snake you have bred and how much was it? How can you keep a hobby like this in the most cost efficient way? How did you become successful and when? How long did it take before you became successful? Again, thank you so very much for you informative videos. After I submit this comment I will be subscribing to your channel. I’m a big fan!

[@stevelewandowski6848]

Very informative video Matt. Question i have is do you switch males with different females or do you keep the same pair thought the breeding process

[@OlympusReptiles]

Steve Lewandowski I keep the same pair usually. But the make may wait to three different females

[@austinborden4974]

Would really like to hear your input on the spider morph. I want to breed my pastel to one but heard some bad things about the spider

[@OlympusReptiles]

Ashley Livingston all spiders have a wobble, but in my experience the vast majority are very minor. A slight head shake when excited, or a bit if confusion with up and down when picked up. They all feed, poop, shed just fine. Quality of life is still as high as any other snake. I breed them, I love them! Every person has to decide for themselves (we actually talk about it in an upcoming video) but for me, I have zero issue with spider.

[@austinborden4974]

Olympus Reptiles thank you. What morph do you make by mixing pastel to a spider?

[@ThePythonBurrow]

Great video!!

[@6Oryan]

Do you ever have issues when the male is significantly larger than the female? Like if you were pairing that big 2500g male to a new 1500g female would there be stress issues with the female?

[@OlympusReptiles]

6Oryan nope, no worries at all

[@LoveraExotics]

Great video Matt. The only thing I want to hear your opinion on is on small females around the 900g-1000g range. Would you put a male in with them to try and get them on food. Not for breeding purposes but to break that "1000g wall"?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Wyoming Reptiles I haven't, but I would. Only thing I would do is not leave it for long. Like maybe an hour.

[@LoveraExotics]

Question for you! What would you/could you breed with a banana spider mojave? And what would you get!? I love the bananas! Would be cool to get some neat banana combos!

[@daisyflynn5295]

How often do u feed your snakes? Cuz I've heard that u should feed every week, but I've also heard every 2 weeks is better. I feed every 2 weeks, but my 2 year old female is not as big as your 2 year old female

[@OlympusReptiles]

I feed every week, an appropriate sized meal. I don't feed huge meals. Either works, some grow faster than others. Feed schedule does play a role. A lot of things you will hear are opinion based (1 or 2 week feeding, egg cutting, etc). Multiple ways work, and do what works best for you.

[@showtimespeedshop]

Thank you! Great video! One question I had was, as a hatchling I was told to feed every 3-4 days. At what age or weight do you start switching over to once a week?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Dalton Strader I do it from the beginning. It is easier. Really won't effect growth that much

I have a young male that I got from a show a few months ago. He looks ALOT like your male. The man sold him for cheep because he took it from someone who couldn't have him. But he told me he was a fire spider and he's looking less and less like like my two female fire spiders.

[@OlympusReptiles]

Joe Joe Murawski then it could be. But bumblebees are usually really bright when young, then darkening when adults

How many Locks should there be during that time? Also is there a certain point in time that the female goes off feed? I don't know for sure if the females stay on feed or if they go off feed. Also about how long before they lay eggs after you see the glow? These are the questions I have and also my concerns so if you could help out I would surely appreciate it, thanks.

[@OlympusReptiles]

MrPennsu78 I stop when he loses interest, or I see ovulation. Some say three locks. I don't think you can lock to much, so I keep it going

[@MrPennsu78]

Okay thanks I appreciate that. I started my breeding around the 7th of December. Every time I put a male in with my females not long after I put them in there locked and they're locked for a while. I would say each female probably has about 6 Plus locks already. So hopefully good things to come. By the way I really enjoyed your video today.

[@bizzmoneyb]

you get them to lock multiple times over the months. u look for an ovulation (a huge swelling on the lower 1/3 of their body). thats how u know they will lay.

Good video! I didn't know there were that many opinions on size for females. I'd always heard pretty consistently 1500 grams is breeding weight. That comment somebody made that they don't have scales in Africa is pretty hilarious! I recently saw a video of a big breeding facility in Africa and there are some breeders there who produce animals that blow most American breeders out of the water. There was this one snake that was such a high white Calico that it looked like it had Spider in it but it was just single gene Calico. Looked like it was sprinkled with snow 3/4 of the way up its body!

[@OlympusReptiles]

Anderson88G22 o think everyone gas to deal with a nite occasionally, and I wouldn't beat up xyzreptiles over it. Especially if you got it at a show, as that is one issue with shows. Someone handles a snake with mites (maybe so small the vendor didn't even know) then transfers them around. I like a product called nature's spray. It can be sprayed on the reptile, and isn't as hard as PAM. You have to treat like three times usually yo get them all, but they can be dealt with

? Is it bad for a female to be a breeder every single season or wold be good to give her a break THANKS 👽

[@OlympusReptiles]

Depends. The best thing to do is monitor health and weight in between seasons. If a female doesn't put all her weight back on, good to give her a season off. If she did, I breed her. I have a female or two who seem to take the occasional year off if they want anyway, they just will miss that year on producing.

[@carlhoppe]

I’m a breeder from South Africa and the “no scales in Africa” comment had me rolling on the floor. 😂 We live in houses, like you, we have electricity like you, we have everything you have! But we have a first world country being run by a third world government ever since 1994. But....We also have Elon Musk, Charleze Theron, Trevor Noah, Dr Chris Barnard (who performed the worlds first ever heart transplant) so there’s that.... We also have game reserves where wild animals live, which you can visit because they DO NOT ROAM THE STREETS! 😂You can now stop living in the dark ages, because we don’t.

[@OlympusReptiles]

Dude, you took that completely wrong. No scales in Africa refers to the wild population of ball pythons. In the wild (in Africa where they are native) they are not getting on scales. Obviously, Africa is an entire continent. Some places are very well developed, others are not, like any other place. Wasn't a shot at any country, just in the wild they are not getting weighed prior to breeding.
