Python Blackheadead Health Information

Breeding
The Black-Headed Python reaches sexual maturity at four to five years. Male Black-Headed Pythons display their combat skills in vying for a mate, and often are seen biting each other. While incubating her eggs, the female Black-Headed Python needs more heat and will spend more time basking. Her clutch generally contains five to ten eggs. The eggs contain huge yolk reserves, which the young Black-Headed Pythons may feed from for some time before starting on solid food. They eat quite frequently and indeed may grow up to ten centimeters a month! Though it is not difficult to successfully breed the Black-Headed Python, problems with egg fertility and even with the compatibility of the breeding pair have been encountered.
