that is not entirely true. there are many reports of females that are 3-5 years old that only lay duds or 3-4 eggs. On the opposite side I have heard of many BIG breeders have females go at 18 months and they lay 6 good eggs. I've even heard of one breeder breed a female at 9 months old and got 5 good eggs from the 1600gm giant year old female at laying. if a female has the right length and weight it will not hurt the snake but if you rush it you may run the risk of having an egg bound snake and a snake that the does not produce optimal clutches in the future.
