I reckon she would be fine, she should be able to put out a good size clutch as well IMO.

Some candles, romantic music, wine ... you never know.
Seriously, her age shouldn't be a problem. How big is she?

She should be fine, Ziggy's parents are between 10 - 13 years old... But don't be shocked if she doesn't become gravid after your first attempt of breeding. I know a breeder that it took 3 seasons for the snake to become gravid.

my mate reckons his male darwin is that good on the mattress, it could even knock up a snake that is fixed.

She is probably too old but stranger things have happened. If she has never produced offspring in 13 years perhaps there is a physical reason ( not much info so I dont know if the previous owners tried to breed her)
Can you post some photos of your new snake?

| I agree with junglepython.
Providing that you cool her properly (see Simon Stone articles http://www.southernxreptiles.com/RA%...ngPythons2.htm for temperature & photoperiod cycling) she should breed ok.
