Which morph would you suggest?

I understand, I just would have guessed that the girl in that picture was about 1,000-1,200g or so, so it would have to be a terrible eater for a 10 year old if it is really a female. If that was the case I don't know if I'd recommend breeding her at all. No one else has said anything so I might be over thinking this, but if it took her 10 years to reach a healthy breeding weight, how long would it take her to put that weight back on after laying a clutch of eggs. And I could be wrong about this too, but I remember Jasballs saying that he thought that older females who weren't bred were more likely to become eggbound than a young 1,200g female. I don't know whether or not she is already a proven breeder, so if she is none of that applies, but the weight would still concern me unless she's eating great and is just recovering from laying in '08.

Jake,
I just wanted to say that I have an 11 year old female that has laid eggs for the last three years. She typically weighs about 1850 to 200 grams. Every year, after laying eggs, she stops eating once she has got back to 2000 grams. I guess that is her happy weight. Also, her eggs average about 140 grams, and she has had 6 eggs every year. Just my experience with a girl that is average size adult even at an older age.

Thanks Tim. I have a couple girls like that too, but not that old. When I saw the first post I just assumed she had never been bred before. I don't know why the hell I thought that? I guess she just looked like a smaller, younger snake than I was expecting to see when I opened the thread.
