    I would still give her a year or two before breeding, it's not unusual for an animal to breed at 3 or 4 or even 5 years of age for the first time, but the industry tend to want to breed ASAP or at least within 2 years/3 years while it works with some animals it just does not for others, some will mature slower than others.

    My guess she will likely be a smaller female however I would still feed her for a year before attempting breeding, I did years back bred a smaller older female (around 1100 grams) knowing she would probably be one of those smaller female and and it did kick start her appetite she is a great feeder now but not a huge female she is in the 1800/2000 grams range at 10 years old

    What I would do with her now if you have not done so already is have her in a 12 or 15 quarts tub max with coco coir substrate, and offer food. After that play around with temperatures, take her for a car ride (you would be surprised how moving around in a snake bag for an hour can affect them).

    Try different food within reason mice, rats, asf, I don't recommend anything else.
