more or less until what age can a male and female bp breed and produce a healthy clutch? I know it depends on the snake but is there like an average age on when they stop? thanks!

Re: breeding age??
oops yea sorry, Honestly I have never heard of a end date but then you would need to ask someone who has been breeding for 30 years consistantly. I dont think there are that many of them.
At a guess I would say 20- 25 years being a little over the half life of the snake itself. Most critters (including us) stop half way in our life.
