    Male Question - Breeding

    I was at a reptile show this month and there was a corn breeder there with a male corn they said had fathered a bunch of the corn babies on their table. The only thing is, this male they had was small! He was no more than 150g tops (actually 100-120g sounds more accurate but its just a guesstimate as I only saw him briefly). When I bred my corns, my male was well over 200g before he bred (close to 250g) as that is what was recommended. Can you breed a male that small? Or is it better to let them get some size on them first?

    I don't keep corns so i'm not a tremendous help here, but consider ball pythons. Many people on this forum breed their males once they hit about 500g and BPs get to 2000g-3000g easily. Again this probably wasn't too much help but if the male is ready to breed I don't think you can hurt him (as long as you don't overbreed him)

    Haha, well my male ball python was just a tad over 200g when he began producing sperm plugs.

    I'm going to try to find out who the breeder was and contact them about it because now it has me really curious. It was a beautiful male. I need to get another breeder male soon. I have a 550g female snow. I skipped her last season but this season I want to breed her and find myself with no male. Well I do have a male but he's only 50g.
