Can you have too big of a male to breed with a young female?
I always see little males breeding with females i never big ol' rusty veteran balls breeding a virgin female. I hope after a few years they are still going strong, i would think so... What do you guys do?

As long as she is at least 1600g, no probs. But I have never seen big 'ol males, you don't want a huge lazy male anyways.

I have a 3200 gram male...he's not fat either! I may throw him in with a female later in the season.

I will say I won't breed a huge male to a small female for her sake, lol, but once she hits 1500+ grams all bets are off

Re: Can you have too big of a male to breed with a young female?
Good to hear, i just wanted to make sure. So what kind of maintenance feeding schedule do you all keep your adult males on for feeding so they don't get fat and lazy? I take it if you gave them a year off of breeding they don't forget or refuse to do so, i mean it is a male (we don't forget our only purpose, haha)? I know each snake is different and all, im just talking generally.

Don't confuse 'big' with 'fat and lazy'.
5 foot plus males shouldn't weigh 1000 grams! They're going to be much heavier at that length. Make sure their weight is appropriate for their size, and they'll breed just fine. Older males can be rock stars during the breeding season. So many people breed young males because they can, not because they breed better than older animals.
I see no reason not to put a big veteran breeder male with a first-time 1500 gram girl.

All of my adult males get fed once a week.
Under 1000 grams generally get weanlings and my big boys have been fed smalls.
