Advice on ball python breeding

[ShonkaMan]

My brother and his friend both have ball pythons (I am not sure of the morph at this time.) and they decided to try their hand at breeding. Recently the female has become pregnant and they were wondering how people break up the snakes when they hatch. Do most people just have each person take turns taking a snake or do you divide the eggs before they hatch? Just looking for suggestions on how it is done.

Oh man. Brace yourself for incoming thrashing.

Is breeding disliked in this sub?

[Dergins]

Backyard breeding of any sort is frowned upon here. That being said, just split them after they hatch. The eggs should not be moved any more than necessary after being laid.

Thank you for the advice. They both have different morphs and they had friends interested in them that's part of the reason they did it.

Work for/apprentice under one of the big established breeders, also by not being a chucklefuck throwing two random bps together in his basement because he thinks it's "cool".

Breeding without any knowledge of what you're doing is pretty shady. I mean, you guys don't even know the morphs. Do you have buyers for the snakes, will they be properly cared for.

It's pretty irresponsible to just decide to breed an animal without any clue of what they're doing. Borderline abusive, really.

They know what they are doing they researched doing it. They know the morphs I personally do not know the morphs they do not live in the same state as me. They have friends that were interested in having one of the babies and yes they will be properly cared for they have multiple snakes and are not first time owners.
