That is a young but possible age, if your male is 7 plus lbs he may be ready..The females should be 10 plus lbs..Plus being the key word..If the animals have reached a "near" adult size and food is being stored as fat cells/bodies you stand a chance of success..If the animals are still converting food into growth than your chances are less likely..IMO.
Re: Question: When is the Breeding age / weight of blood pythons,
While it "IS" frowned upon in this hobby early reproduction is possible for dedicated and experienced keepers..
It most often occurrs in newly found or created types so that the animals are brought to the public in a quicker time frame..Fecundity depends on the experience of the keeper in most cases..In 15 years there has been over 1350 types of ball pythons created..And they don't eat every meal..Albino Burmese python-18 months and 33 fertile eggs, Borneo python-18 months and 18 fertile eggs, etc..There is a LOT of speculation in this hobby and less known fact..Can one say that an animal that was rapidly grown during its first 24-36 months won't live its full life, In fact ? There are things in this hobby that are kept down low so that the hobby is not effected..Some are so apparent that all concerned know,spider balls and jaguar carpets wobble but theres a world more..
