    I disagree. I think that both age AND weight are what is required. A female needs to be sexually mature, but she also needs to have the necessary fat stores so she can produce good eggs. I think that they walk hand in hand for the most part (a sexually mature snake weighs enough) but there will always be exceptions when dealing with animals.
