Smallest male to breed?
I have a 2011 chacolate from Bhb and he weighs around 250g and has been locking like some of my older breeders it's like he can't get enough and the again I have a mystic male Thats 175g and produceing a little sperm but I'm scared to introduce him but what's the youngest and smallest males ever known to breed?

Most people don't start introducing males until they are 500-600 grams. I can't believe that a 175 or 250 gram snake is even sexually mature. A snake that weight would only be a month or two old. Far too young.

Some people go by weight, some go by age. Usually males are sexually mature by 1 year, or there first winter, and females by 3 years or their 3rd winter. I too have trouble believing that your male is locking up females. I hope the babies you hatch dont come out underdeveloped or with defects or anything.

Re: Smallest male to breed?
I've heard of males under 300 grams breeding successfully, but in those cases they were incredibly slow growing males over a year old. I just don't see the need to rush the males into breeding.

I have an 8 month old that's 500 grams who isn't producing plugs yet. I've heard of breeders getting 300 gram males to breed also but I don't know how a male as small as yours could be producing sperm already.

I regularly breed males that are 5 - 6 months old and 450 grams and up with great success.
