Absolutely not--I want my females to reach their full potential. Just think...if a female is 1500 grams at 1 year old, how big is she going to be at 3?

I have a theory that ball pythons bred early will lay small clutches...possibly always. And that those bred at age 3 or more AND over 1500 grams will lay larger clutches, consistantly.
I intend to set up some experiments down the road to test this idea. If it's true, then all of this impatience I see is definitely NOT worth it.

I have a giant female who layed 13 eggs last season. Compare that with 4 eggs...no contest.
Her babies are growing like weeds. I wouldn't be surprised if they're over 1500 grams by age 2, if not sooner...but I won't breed them until they are at least 3.
