    Reproductive Age

    Hello everybody,

    my female ball python is 25 years old. I was wondering if she would be able to reproduce still.
    Until now she has never bred. As a matter of fact I've tried only in the last 2 years and never
    before.
    The people I've asked are giving me different answers, but this answers seem to me based on
    impressions more than science.
    On a book I've read that a 40+ year old female has laid 9 viable eggs. So my question is the following:
    is there any hope for me and my female?
    Thank you in advance for your replies.

    From everything I have heard, yes as long as she is healthy she can produce eggs.
    Just like younger girls though it's a matter of will they not can they.
