Breeding burmese pythons?

I got a burmese python a while ago with no intention to breed it, little did i know, she was pregnant! The eggs have been laid, I‘ll keep them and try selling them, now what do i do?

Answer:

You would just have normal Burmese pythons, but on rare occasions you will get a few albino babies, though, this is almost impossible. The normal babies would be a het of an albino since they will not show any traits of the albino gene. If you bred two albinos you would get 100% albinos because you did not breed two different morphs so the babies will still have the albino traits. If you bred an albino and a het for albino there is a result in possible albino hatchlings rather than breeding a normal with an albino.
Try to keep her in a highly humidified enclosure (90-100%) with damp vermiculite on the floor. Keep the temperature at about 85 degrees F. She will coil around the eggs and maintain the right temperature by twitching occasionally. I have had considerable experience with this and have produced a total 96 baby pythons from 4 separate clutches.
