This is going to be my first try at breeding ball pythons. I have a female het clown that is around the 1300g mark and should be ready to breed this season.

What I'm torn about is I've got a male het clown that will also be ready to breed as soon as she will be with no problem, but I've recently acquired a male pastel het clown. The pastel het clown is just over 100g may be up to 150g now.

Would you go ahead and breed the het clown male to the female ASAP, or would you hold out and wait for the pastel het clown to get up to breeding size?

Note: The pastel het clown has been an awesome feeder so far.
