    Breeding Question

    I have a female sunglow that I got from a recent show. She is only 19g right now but eating a ton! I know with ball pythons you normally wait until they are 2-3 years old and 1500g. How old should a female leo be and how much should she weigh before attempting to breed her? What about the male?

    Re: Breeding Question

    Leos are typically mature @ 18 months or so. 50 grams minimum for breeding, with 60+ being preferred.

    Re: Breeding Question

    50+ grams is rule of thumb, but like stated above 60+ is a better aim. why push it.
