Smallest male to breed?

[naturesbeautybreeder]

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?

[The Serpent Merchant]

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.

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.

My male Phantom started breeding at 6 months old and 424 grams..
