breeding jungle pythons

[sigridshurte]

hey people
i was wondering what is the age when male and female jungle carpet python are able to breed and does it matter if there is a age gap of one year (female being the youngest)???? ( my picture is of my male jungle python).???

It is not an age that you are looking for but more of size.

so depending on your feeding regime and temps, you may take 5 years to get to healthy breeding size
on the other hand it may only take 3

so size is the important bit.

But overfeeding to get your snake to size is not advised. Fat snakes arent good
