If you want her to be a great, healthy breeder with very low risk of becoming eggbound, wait until she is 4 years old. You can breed them at 3, sometimes younger, but it's not worth the risk in my opinion. Weight is highly variable. My breeder female who shot out 2 clutches this year weighs next to nothing, despite being over 4 feet long. But, she's at least 5 years old, so she's perfectly healthy to breed. 3 years is the absolute minimum for females though.

Spring 2006 if her size is appropriate by then (as it should be) If you have to weigh her to see if shes big enough, she probably isn't, it should be easy to tell visually. Bigger is better for the snake & you. Mark
