On my morning checks today my big girl was wrapped around her bowl. This is definitely not usual behavior for her. She’s certainly been building, and I am planning to breed her soon.
She laid her last clutch in early August, so that’s only been four months. Seems early for pairing. Should I just follow the signs, or sit tight for another month or two? She’s built back up to 2100g. Thoughts?
Here’s a bad shot of her from this morning. I’ll try to get better shots if this behavior continues.
Here is something from Brandon Osborne that may help you.
I guess there are a few things to consider first.
Do you need to pair her?
Will you get anything from pairing her that will push your plans forward?
Can you house and/or sell the babies when they come.
Do you think she is ready to go again?.. Only you will know.
I will say you must be doing something right to get her back up to that size again 
@eaglereptiles. Thank you, all fair points.
I should clarify my question: Provided that I do intend to breed her for reasons listed above, is four months from laying her last clutch seasonally too early to begin pairing?
I couldn’t give you personal experience here.
I can give you my opinion though, which would be to wait it out.
And also this discussion… How many consecutive seasons is it safe to breed a Female Ball Python.
It all depends on your individual animal though, and if you believe she is ready, I’m guessing she will produce.
I would have to agree. It all depends on the female. I’ve had females lay consecutive clutches as little as 10 months apart. This isn’t something I tried to do, it’s just what the females did on their own.
