    what many go by is 1500 grams or 2-3 years old. Which ever comes first.

    And the 1500 grams must be achieved evenly without over feeding to prevent fat gain.

    If an '08 is 1500 grams by December then by all means breed her. Snakes grow and mature at different rates just like people.

    I bred a 1000 gram and two 1200 grams females this year. The only one that took is one of the 1200 gram females. Although, they all locked up at least once. She is due to lay within the week. The smallest male that has fathered clutches for me is around 700 grams, but I have heard some fathering clutches as low as 350 grams, but that is not the norm.

    Hope this helps.

    I have a YB male that is locking up like a pornstar and he is just around 390 - 400g. But I have a pastel male around 450g that shows no interest.

    They all mature at different rates. :gj:
