you gotta wait for next year breeding season to start with lol bps are already laying eggs and hatching eggs but it looks like a regular normal just with a little nice blushings
Breeding season is ALL year long. Its not over till the female lays eggs.

so your inbreeding snakes for what reason??

Nice she has some pied like markers but I'm not an expert on so called "markers" nice BP either way. I have gotten my girl to breed at 1189 grams. She's doing fine now.

not necessarily safer thats the only word i could think of off the top of my head but i would love the extra weight so theres less of a chance on being egg bound and dying one of my friends on here had a female weighing in at 1195 before she was bred and she ended up dying from being egg bound but like i said some prefer 1200 grams so im not saying they have to breed at 1500 grams its just what I do

Bigger doesn't mean better. Ive seen more females over the 2k mark egg bound than i have of females 1200. The size plays little role to the females ability to successfully breed and lay eggs that are healthy.
You have genetics,health, and feedings that all play a roll in their ability to breed and push eggs out. Just keep in mind 1500 isnt any safer over 2-3000g female. They all can get egg bound at any size and age.
