breedability

quick question. i seem to get alot of different answers when i ask what is the best size to have a female retic at to start breeding. i know my female is way to small at a whopping 4ft lol but she is ounding large rats and putting on size rapidly. thanx for the imput!:D

Minimum of 3 years old before you breed a female. And needs to be over 12'.

I had a good list of all the requirements a female would need to meet. But I guess I lost it.

For me I would say 2-3 years.

Some people may disagree with me but thats just my personal preference.

Females 11+ feet. Good health, weight ect.

I am going to be breeding my coastals and my male tic and am going to wait a few years.

No sense in pushing an animal into breeding that is not ready to.

I would rather wait another year than have a bad breeding season because I couldn't wait.

Typically minimum is 3+ yrs, 12'+... Breeding a female small could have some problems, so it doesn't hurt to wait. Most females under 3 probably wouldn't breed well anyways. Males are typically 18 months before they kick on.

Good luck! :gj:

you can breed them at 18 months of age, but the female needs to be at least 10ft.

18 months....come on thats really to young to be breeding.

I see a lot of problems with people A. Power feeding to get them up to size fast. and B. Breeding to young.

Better to wait.

The youngest a female retic will breed is 34 months.

im tryin to think of the name of that book,
it stays there breedable at 18 months.
if there the right size and weight, and i never said i would breed them that young. I said you could breed them that young.

I would really like to know your source for this info. All the retic breeders I have talked to, Bob Clark included, said 34 months is the earliest.
