Again, depends on the weight and size of the animal, usually its around 3-4 for most species if they havent been 'skarfed'

The coastal is about as round as a golf ball in the middle. he looks very healthy. the children i have is a 2 yr old female id say just under a m. and as thick as a 20 cent coin. I only just got her so I havent had the chance to weigh or measure yet

ha this could start an argument. it means overfeeding to bring your snake to breeding size quickly. depends who you askas to weather its a good idea or not. as for me im on the fence

It doesn't really matter how old they are, it is more a matter of how big it is. Some are big enough to breed after 2yrs, others maybe 4 or 5yrs.

So it basically depends on how much you feed it.

If your childrens is nearly a metre than later this year it should probably be ready to breed. Just make sure you feed it up and make sure its healthy and everything should be ok.

childens will breed at 2 years old . and you dont have to over feed them for this to happen . ive breed stimsons at 2 years they where about at thick as your thumb and about 60cm long . must admit they normally have small clutches of eggs the first season and more the second time around . they where getting feed about every second week .
