Have you ever?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had success with breeding a 200g male ball python? Or and other size, This info would be very useful to me and thanks in advance!

I've heard of people breeding small males, not that small though. Through my personal experience I found that just because a male is " breeder size " it is not a clear indication he will breed. I've founnd with some males you just have to wait, when they are ready they will.

I have a terrible time with young males period. I have one who is about 350g now who I am trying to get bred back to his mother and nothing so far. I am hoping that between now and April it may happen but if not, there's next year.

I'm not having much luck with young males, either. My smallest ones (that I'm currently trying to get to breed) are between 400-500 grams. The biggest one that I'm having problems with is a 600-700 gram '09 male that doesn't seem to be able to figure it out.

As far as breeding at 200 grams, I don't think you have much of a chance with him. Not only is he most likely not sexually mature, but your smallest female is going to be at least 6 times his size!!

I dont breed anything less than 750. The tend to drop too much weight and breeding that small/young just doesnt seem right or healthy. I think of my snakes as my kids, a 200g snake is like a five year old, not ready for anything yet. IMO I think you should wait a bit.
