The size and age for Olive Python's to be sexually mature or paired up together is, ( male, size 9 to 11 foot long, age 3 and half to 5 years )-( female, size 10 to 12 foot long, age 4 and half to 6 years ).

Olive Python's take alot longer to mature before they can breed or be paired up together than alot of other Australian Python's.

There is no point in speeding up their size from a hatching to adult by feeding them alot just to get them breeding much younger, its their age that determings whether or not they are ready for breeding and this applies to all other species of Python's and Reptile's IMO.:)

l myself have been keeping Olive Python's since mid 2000 and l currently have just 1 pair of wild caught Olive's, that were collected on permit from Katherine NT in late 2009, so far l have not had any luck in breeding these awesome Python's, that l have kept in the past or keep now its hard to match up a compatable pair together for breeding let me tell you.:lol:

thanks for the reply, it would be great to get some breeding here in the UK they can be pretty hard to get unless i head over to Hamm in Germany. It would be good to see some albinos aswel, as far as im aware there isnt any in the UK at all.
 
My 3 "big" olives.
