is there any good advice or recommendations on books or websites that have valuable information on the process of breeding spotted pythons?
info such as recommended age, size of snake, what time should the snakes be introduced, temperature changes etc etc.
thanks mitch

In the book Keeping Children's Pythons by Greg Fyfe & Darren Green there is a whole section on breeding for the whole Antaresia family, it is really really helpful.
Hope that helps.

|  | Regular Member | | | | Reproductive Husbandry of Pythons & Boas (Richard A. Ross, M.D) is an excellent book. Another good but expensive one is Pythons of the World Volume (D & T Barker) plus Incubation of Reptile Eggs (Gunther Kohler). These books can be found online at http://www.mikeswanherpbooks.com.au (Mike Swan Herp Books)
Doc Rock also wrote some great beginners breeding tips in Reptiles Australia Magazine in Volume 2. ( I think)

All the above suggestions are great. But i would just like to say Antaresia are "usually" easier to breed. Ive had success buy keeping males & females seperate during most of the year (even this might not be needed), begin winter cooling around May/June (lower your temps to around 22deg) & periodically introduce your male to your female from June-August. At the end of August return the temps to normal. Ive had success doing this & not even using other stimuli like less daytime lighting (UV) or nightime cooling.
