I definitely believe it! Early 07s could easily be 1000 grams plus right now, will every snake grow at that kind of rate...likely not... but I Jas obviously knows what he's doing.
Jas, have you had any issues breeding under the "recommended" weight/age?
just smaller amount of eggs. Females seem to pick back up on food faster then the big girls.. and the babies seem to always take after mom.. (the females breeding now are from a young first clutch mom)!!
From what I've been told and have seen most breeders will do the 2 years old and 1200+ grams before even thinking of putting that female in to breeding. It's quite dangerous when you over feed a young snake like that and then highly dangerous for that snake to be breeding at that age. It's known that young snakes like that do hold a high rick of becoming egg bound and or dieing. Why not just hold those girls back for another year or two? Why put their lives in danger? Just a bit to risky in my eyes.
