She looks a little small to me. I would hold off at last another year and put some heft on her. How long have you had her and how much has she grown in that time? My Mex/Costa Rican female wasn't much bigger than your Nic (closer to 5 feet) and bred last season for the first time at 3.5 years old, but she was much thicker. And even though she ate through most of her term, she still came out of it very thin. Here's a pic of her about mid-term.

>>Here she is in a 4' x 2' x 1' boaphile cage. She is in the top cage, the male is in the bottom. They are approximately the same lenght (the male might be slightly longer). He weighs 0ver 900 grams. The picture was taken back in july of this year.
