a breeder once told me he has a female that is 20 plus years old and still produces eggs for him...............i have no idea about males though

in the ball python manual there is record of a female laying eggs at 35 years old.

I have a ball python in my house. I want to breed her when she's big enough. Anyone know how big she has to be for breeding?
(She's about 20 inches long and is a juvenille ball python)
If so, let me know.

Generally the rule of thumb is 2- 3 years old, weighing 1500+ grams.

And how did you come up with that?:confused:
People have bred BPs weighing less and have gotten eggs...

Yes, you want both snakes to be healthy and mature enough (2-3 years for females) but how can you claim that you "have to be at those weights"????
