I certainly don't want to rush into anything. Health is my primary concern. I'm not worried at all about the male. As long as he keeps taking his weekly rat I'm sure he'll grow plenty. I was going to just keep giving the female her weekly rat as well and hope she gets to 1500g by October (Is that still the weight target? I've heard differing opinions.) The only reason I was considering changing the frequency was because of the BHB recommendation on the latest Snakebytes.

So if I stick with one appropriate-sized rat per week (i.e. same size as girth of the snake) then that's the appropriate schedule whether breeding or not?

(As a relative newbie to the BP-world, I find it confusing when I see varying opinions from the different breeders.)
