Age limit for breeder females?
I saw an ad on my local Craigslist for a few snakes, and one was a female Ball. I e-mailed the seller asking if they were sure of its sex and they informed me that it was a 10-year-old snake, and that breeding her would kill her... is this true?

Absolutely not ... I have females that are over 20 years old and produce eggs every year.

Thanks for the responses guys, I was pretty skeptical about that. The woman I am e-mailing about it seems a little on the ... off... side.
Re: Age limit for breeder females?
well give the snakes an inspection before you make a commitment to buy...her snakes maybe on the....off...side too

Keep in mind that a ball python will live into the 30's and can reproduce for a long, long time. ;)

It would not shock me if she also feeds them once a month or so :mad:.Let us know what turns out and if they are REALLY ball pythons lol.
