So, the 1100 gram proven pastel male I bought is actually worthless to me, because since he's that big he won't breed, hmm? :colbert:

Re: Male BP size
My 1400 gram yellow belly boy is a very aggressive breeder, much more so than when he was breeding at 900 grams last year.

He won't be the largest male as we have a 2150 gram male clown on hold that should be in house soon:D http://i968.photobucket.com/albums/a...e/PICT5634.jpg

Re: Male BP size
Just picked up a Pastel male last week that weighs in at 1264g.
Yeah, like I said I took that advice with a grain of salt.
I just can't see every single successful breeder out there with no males over 900 grams.

Re: Male BP size
I have one male at 933grams and he's a slow breeder. I have another male at 1380grams (probably more now, since last I weight was 7 meals ago), and will lock within 10 minutes of being with a female.
Over-weight can't be judged on grams alone. Thats like saying all female over 110 are fat, but what if their tall, or bigger build?!
Same goes will ball pythons. :)
