question regarding planned breeding for an older female

Greetings everyone! I have a 2008 female albino ball python ( 7 yrs old), weighs approx. 2100 grams, about 4 1/2 feet long ( puppy tame) . Thinking of getting a baby male ball python this year and plan on breeding them together next year . I read about the female being ready for breeding at 3 years old, 1500 grams minimum . My question is : since my female will be 8 yrs old next year , is she going to be too old to breed for the first time? At what age would you consider a female too old to breed specially virgin females? What age should you retire a female from the breeding program ? Appreciate any of your input and opinions regarding this matter.

I don't think there will be any problems. If she is too old, she will simply not produce anything, or there will be a couple of slugs, but for any 8 year old I don't think that will be an issue.

Ball pythons can live for decades. An eight year old female is still plenty young.

Those animals live up to 40 years and some breeders have females well into their 20's still producing, so 8 YO is nothing.
