Breeding Ball Pythons Without Ultrasound: The Weight Method

Описание: Breeding ball pythons can feel intimidating, especially if you don’t own an ultrasound machine or know how to palpate follicles. In this video, Spheric Reptiles breaks down a proven, data-driven method that new and existing ball python breeders can use to estimate follicle development using female weight alone.

Using real breeding females tracked over several months, we show the correlation between weight gain and follicle growth, confirmed by ultrasound. Mature female ball pythons that begin cycling around 10 mm follicles often gain 400–600 grams as follicles develop toward ovulation at 40–45 mm. This video explains how consistent weight tracking can help predict follicle progression, timing, and breeding readiness without expensive equipment.

If you’re a beginner ball python breeder, someone planning their first pairing, or a hobbyist looking to improve breeding success, this video will give you confidence and clarity. Learn how to track female weight properly, what normal growth looks like, and how to avoid common breeding mistakes.
