My concern here, Jason, would be if this female snakes previous owner couldn't even do something as basic as feed her correctly, then you're going to be wanting to make sure you have a long and careful quarantine on her (at least I would be). I'd be more worried about that and just bringing her along nicely than pushing for a breeding this year - or at least maybe an attempt in early 2009 after she's completed a full quarantine period.
