    Question How long?

    My bp is about 550 grams, roughly how much longer until she reaches 1500 grams(or big enough to breed her) do you think?

    It all depends on the snake. Some hit major growth spurts and some are slow growers. All females usually reach that weight by the age of 2. since yours is 550 id say you have a good little ways off. my guess alittle over a year.

    Good things get better in time! You don't want to breed too young. Think about all the knowledge you will get while waiting!

    its amazing how variable their growth can be.
    i have a female that is just shy of 1 year old that is already over 1100 grams.
    but on the flip side i also have a female lessor that is only a month younger than the first one i mentioned and she hasn't even hit 400 grams yet.
