For westerns as with most NA snakes size is the biggest determining factor..

Last year my male Extreme Red Albino fathered 80 fertile eggs, he was about 15-16in in length , weighed about 80g and was 9 months old.
The safe threshold for females is about 24in and 250g, I several females now that are 350-400grams,26-30in and only 15-17 months of age.
