    His voice starts cracking, he'll get funny feelings about girls, and hair will start growing in funny places..

    Depends on the snake. Some breed at 500 grams and some wait till 1000 grams. Pick a number in the middle and run with it. But is you see sperm plugs its ready Now.

    If you're experienced with popping, pop him and you will see.. Well.. Sperm. Looks like white stuck shed in his vent.

    Re: How to tell if a male Bp is already sexually mature?

    You have to pop him and you'll see small white stringlike things.

    Usually they are mature by their first winter as long as they are good weigh. My pastel male was 450 at the beginning of breeding season and he has been locking for me. The female is glowing, so he must be viable.
