This past season was going to be my first. I had several girls (05's & '06's) that were right on the line. I decided to wait and give them all the extra year. To me it is not worth it to breed them that soon. I know lots of people breed younger and smaller than I am, but I would rather err on the side of caution. To me it is about what is best for the snake, not ohhh I got to breed this season. (not saying you are thinking this, but I do see lots of people who are). If they are not 3 years old and over 1600, I will go later in the season or wait altogether. Although with the cinnamon I got from Adam, she may go at 2- she eats like there is no tomorrow! I can't believe how fast his snakes seem to grow and gain weight.
