Thanks girls for explaining it to me

However from talking to others that keep their pairs of BPs together there seems to be a reluctance for them to breed. It requires seperating them and then re-introducing them to set off the spark. My pair has been together for 4 years and I have never seen any evidance of breeding behavior.
I guess in this case of BP's absence does make the heart grow fonder!

Well there have been no eggs, and all animals are feeding normally...I basically adopted the animals in pairs and decided because of space limitations, to incorporate them into the same enclosure. I was told by someone that they most likely wont breed if kept together...

in fact, I just upped them to med sized rats (for the 3 largest balls) and all scoffed them nicely. There were on jumbo mice (three each) and because I had a lot of frozen mice, I didnt want to switch right away. My smallest guy, Orion, still is on the mice...he is quite stunted in growth but is slowly growing larger....and eats with gusto...of course I put them in feeding buckets so no one gets bitten or bothered while feeding. I am quite new to snakes ( only owned snakes since January) but I enjoy them ( I must enjoy them considering I have 10 snakes now LOL) I hope this answers some of the questions for everyone....Lyn

Thanks Lyn for your up date on your ball pythons. In fact,I heard the same thing from diffrent people what Merlin was saying.But I guess there are always exeptions,but with balls,I guess it happens very rarely!
