What is the youngest you'd breed a female ball?

[Crazy4Herps]

As long as a female is up to breeding weight, what is the earliest you'd breed her?

New to the breeding scene and I know there are a lot of opinions. Your thoughts?

[snakemansnakes]

In december my female cinnamon will be 18 months and i'm gonna breed as long as she is at least 1600 grams.

[Stewart_Reptiles]

18 months old female minimum 1500 grams, though I rather breed bigger girls.

[West Coast Jungle]

I go 18 months 1500-1600, most dont take that early but I have had some do.

[Bill Buchman]

18-20 months and 1600 grams.

I refuse to breed a female younger than 3 years old. No matter the weight at any age younger she will be 3 years old and atleast 1500 grams at that age.

I am one of those odd ones I only feed once a week nothing more and nothing less. I know a lot of people do feed more often and everything and thats great for them but I would prefer my snakes to live longer and have a better life. It is just an opinion but that's the way I feel. I have nothing against anyone who does any different, we each ahve our own ways. Mine just works best for me and I feel the snake gets the best care that way.

I have heard horror stories and plan to breed females no sooner than two years, preferably three years. I don't want to deal with impacted eggs or a bunch of slugs. What's one more year when it comes to your female's life. I'm not a gambler.

What makes you think that feeding any more or less than once a week will cause a snake to have a bad life and die any sooner than a snake that has a different feeding schedule? I'm sure you're just playing it safe, but what makes you think that a snake that gorges for a few months, then fasts every year, or a snake that eats a larger meal every 10-14 days would have a worse and shorter life? I'm just curious, because I see people say this a lot, but as far as I know, it's all speculation, making it just as likely that a snake that gorges itself, then fasts will end up living longer.

I would breed probably a 2 year old female, or how some people say it, a female who has gone through her second winter.

PS
To Isis, nice doberman pinscher, I have always wanted one!

[JandDReptiles]

I usually wait for my girls to be about 2yrs. and about 1400-1600 grams.

I have been lucky and gotten at least 6 eggs from every female 2 or older, so I'll stick with my luck streak! LMAO! :p
