RIGHT ON!! Ball pythons are my favorite reptile for sure, and I'm turning green with envy! What morph(s) did you breed for?

Btw, 100 grams an egg is pretty good too!

for real...rock on, the female is over 2000 grams befor i bred her. i bred her to two normals and a pastel. i dont know if it will be a mix of the different males or not, someone told me most of the time, its the 1st male, so im thinking they will be normals, but you never know

Its possible that you may get pastels and normals  since bps, like cats, can have multiple fathered clutches, but unless your normal boys were not doing a good job, I'd say your a lot more likely to get all normals. But hey, its possible you may get some pastels if he was really potent boy or the timing was right! (I've seen clutches with 3 fathers that were obvious cuz they were co-doms)

They will most likely be normal.  But, you never know.  Good luck.  Maybe the pastel's swimmers were stronger and were in the mix to fertilize some follicles. 

In the future, I would just breed the first male you wanted even if you don't see them lock up.  It doesn't mean they didn't.  I have a lesser that will stay locked up for hours and days on end.  What a stud.  I also have a het pied that I didn't see lock up until a couple trys.  That didn't mean he wasn't getting busy.  Patiience is the key w/ ball pythons.  I know that's hard with the way the market has deteriorated.
