    Breeding age

    Hi! it's me again, just wondering is there a breeding age limit for females? I mean, at what age would a female be "too old" to breed? or they can still be bred regardless of age?

    Re: Breeding age

    According to my book Ball Pythons in Captivity by Kevin McCurley, there is a documented case of a 40+ year old female laying nine viable eggs in 2005.

    So, pretty old if you take good care of them.
