Fer crying out loud... I SWEAR that the WORST information DOESN'T come from newbies... I comes from people with 2-5 years experience who feel that they now 'KNOW IT ALL.....' IF YOU BREED YOUR FEMALE AND SHE IS MATURE ENOUGH TO LAY EGGS, THEN SHE WILL LAY EGGS...... PERIOD..... You can quote me on that... I'm sure it will be an earth shattering revelation for some......

Pretty much exactly what I was saying. Thank you for being a second to my statement. Now I do not breed my females that small. I have gone into it way to many times to state how I breed my snakes. But that is the way I do it. I have my own opinion on breeding as you do for the way you breed. If a female is ready and you have the comfort to do it then do it... Let her breed if you are not comfortable breeding her at her current weight then don't.
