I have three unrelated females with two being 4 years old and one being 6. None have been bred to this point. My two 4 year olds are around 5 feet and the other is about 5.5 feet. This is my first year breeding easterns, should I be concerned that they are not at least 6 feet long? Most of what I have read has suggested that females be at least 6 feet before breeding. This is somewhat confusing to me since adult indigos typically range in size from 5-8 feet. Should I assume good body weight is more important than length? If so, what is the min. breeding weight for a female?



Thanks in advance for your input



Jason
