    Breeding older females
    How old is to old? Is there an age limit were females will not produce eggs any more or will they keep breeding as long as they are healthy and are up to size? I have a female from 1998 that for the last four years has given me nice clutches. I was just curious about this so I figured the best place to ask is here.

    From what I've read, age doesn't seem to matter. They'll go if they're ready - they won't if they are not.

    Thanks for the help. I thought that was the case, I just didn't know for sure. My oldest is 14 and she usually gives me 8-9 egg clutches every year. I wasn't sure if there was a general "retirement" age.

    You can retire your snakes anytime you want. I tend to retire any of my breeding animals once their production has decreased significantly.
