    Re: Weight and Length Chart for BP's by Age?

I realize there's a ton of variables in my question, but am just looking for a basic guideline to refer to. I do plan on breeding my few females later down the line, but am not power-feeding them at all. They all eat once weekly and roughly 10% of their empty weight. Thanks in advance all.
    Your question rephrased will still get the same answer. I've had females be at breeding weight by 1 year, by 2 years, and by 3 years. All perfectly healthy. All perfectly normal. There just isn't really a guideline like that.

    Generally speaking, most females hit breeding size (which is up for interpretation itself) between 18 and 36 months. The road they take to get there is completely dependant on not only their husbsndry, but also their own individual metabolism.
