I decide a female is ready to breed based on...

[Morphie]

...poll says it all.

[Soterios]

I always thought weight was a bigger factor. That's for me anyhow.

DANG i put that in the wrong forum lol...

here's a picture of a big female to make up for it (until they move it lol)

Sorry!!

This is Hope. I picked her up in Chantilly. She's 2400g and has an arranged marriage to my fireball once Q-time is up:

What poll?

^^ that one ^^ (you changed what you said )

[Melicious]

I think there are more factors, but weight is a big one. My other big factor is temper of the snake.

What about based on follicle development?

This is a tough one. For me personally it's

Age > Follicle Development > Weight

I like my girls to be as healthy and well sized as possible so that first clutch is a good one and sets the tone for the next few years for her.

BUT if she's old enough and developing follices but under 1500g I'd attempt to breed her.

I think breeding a female too young and too light can hinder their egg production for the first few years of laying and potentially longer.

Hope that helps

[Stewart_Reptiles]

There should be a third choice

I breed based on both
