    3 years is plenty of time, usually. Of course it depends on the animal.

    It isn't just about weight, though. You can powerfeed a female and have her up to weight in little more then a year. But weight does not equal maturity. Even if you were to get a female up to weight and gravid in record time, common sense dictates that is not a good idea for any species if you plan to keep them long-term and healthy.

    My own personal "minimum" is at least 2 years old and at least 1500 grams for females.

    At least 2 years old and at least over 1000 gr for males. Now, males can breed much sooner and at a much lighter weight. I just like to let mine grow up a bit.

    Its great that you take your time and are willing to wait until your snakes are ready. Patience can be a virtue when breeding animals and I think you will do just great !!!

    Pinstripes are GREAT in combos, I had a few hatchlings and adults. Very good choice. I have no Bananas but like quite a few combos with them

    Good luck!
    Thank you, yes i am going to be taking my time for sure. I'm really in love with bananas and pinstripes. I have untill march 10 to get decide what i want to get at Repticon Denver!
