    I have a ball python in my house. I want to breed her when she's big enough. Anyone know how big she has to be for breeding?
    (She's about 20 inches long and is a juvenille ball python)
    If so, let me know.

    Generally the rule of thumb is 2- 3 years old, weighing 1500+ grams.

    And how did you come up with that?
    People have bred BPs weighing less and have gotten eggs...

    Yes, you want both snakes to be healthy and mature enough (2-3 years for females) but how can you claim that you "have to be at those weights"????
