    Breeding Length
    How many years can a male and female Breed? Is there a certain number of years i can use a male to breed? So out of the 20-30 Years they live, how many of those years will they be able to produce?

    As far as I have read, they are capable of breeding for their entire lives once reacing sexual maturity. Although I've read that it's wise to give females a year off every few years especially if a drop in egg production is noticed.

    From what I've heard as long as a mature animal is in good weight and health there isn't a limit for how old they are.

    I wouldn't breed any animal that wasn't in good condition, not even if it were 3 or 4 years old. As Mason said, it's not a bad idea to give them a break once in a while, particularly if they aren't producing as they once did.

    They will breed till they die pretty much. Very few animals go through menopause. Granted, it's not a great idea to breed a dog that's 15 years old, but you can still do it. Snakes don't seem to deteriorate as badly as other pets do with age.
