    Re: Maturity question

    Like others said, there’s no magic number. It really comes down to the guidelines of 2-3 years of age and atleast 1500g(for females). A lot of it has to do with the body composition and how they look. I have a few females who are just getting to that 1500g range and 2 years of age, however they just don’t look like they have the right body composition to hold eggs and go off food for months on end. You want a thick bodied snake who looks capable of handling 6+ eggs when they need to be laid. For males it’s a lot different, you obviously want his body composition to be good as well since males tend to go off food for a while during breeding season. Males however can be bred in their first season and at 500g. I’ve had success breeding males in the 500g-750g range. If they go off food though I pull them when they start losing a significant amount of weight
