If up to weight, would you breed a 1 year old female?

[Adam_Wysocki]

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.

Actually, that's not a new idea .... Tracy Barker of VPI has been promoting that for probably almost 10 years now, maybe longer ... I'm pretty sure she has data to back it up as well, she's meticulous about keeping records. I can't remember if it's covered in the book though.

Hope this helps.
