Ok, so than we completely agree and me questioning what you were saying was not required. I just took what you were saying differently than you were saying. I can see things wrong sometimes I guess. LOL. Thanks for your reply Will.

I look at things from an "in the wild" point of view. Females will breed as soon as they are sexually mature in the wild. There is no waiting to become 250 grams. The difference is, their natural environment provides the support for these snakes to be successful at smaller sizes and most keepers offer the very bare minimum so it is not a good idea for those keepers to attempt to breed at those smaller sizes. In my opinion, those keepers should not be breeding them at any size because bare minimum husbandry can cause problems in large females as well.
