    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello People,

I need advice and steps from the start of breeding Burmese Pythons. I'm trying to have a success in my first breeding and I would appreciate all the tips i can get please! :)

Thanks,
Ismael
 
burms are extremely easy to breed. mosty make sure both are sexed correctly, make sure both are healthy, make sure both are of proper breeding age (size as well, but age is most important), most of the time you wait til the female goes off food (i usually say once the female refuses 2 meals in a row), then introduce them. its preference as to whether you put the male in with the female or vice versa. i prefer putting the male in. however, if it doesnt look like their interested, i will separate for a bit and then introduce the female in with the male. i usually keep them in together for about 4-5 days, separate offer a small meal, then let them pass their meal (if they even take).
i have only bred burms a couple times, i dabble in retics more, but breeding is pretty similar. incubation of the eggs is a little different, though.
good luck
 
As mentioned above burms are extremely easy to breed except there's a little more caution that must be used for the safety of the handler.

In a lot of cases with my own burms the males can become a bit nippy, and the females don't always want to leave their eggs.

One thing that is not at all proven, but I'd like to throw out there is that guinea pigs should not be used as feed for burms that will be used as breeders. Many breeders are finding that guinea pigs from certain facilities is causing infertility, and after switching over to rabbits effective breeding is achieved.

Also patients. For the most part the burms will do all the work. Let it happen. Nothing will go right 100% of the time. The snakes wont always breed their first potential year, your genetic odds wont always be right on, or even close. Point is there's always next year.

Remember start with the absolute highest quality animals you can get. Try not to breed just for the sake of breeding.
