very long time breeders of hondurans and other milksnakes. At what "ripe old age" for an adult male snake and and adult female snake do you think it is time to NOT TO BREED THEM ANYMORE and just make them wonderful pets for yourself or for other people?



I guess what I am trying to determine from experiences of long time breeders is at what age do captive milksnakes experience a decline in breeding successfully in terms of number of successful rate of eggs laid or babies hatched.



Some nature books stated that snakes in the wild will experience a sharp decline in breeding after 10 years. I wonder about captive breeding since they tend to live longer than their counterparts in the wild.



Appreciate any real feedback (since guesses are as good as mine).



Thanks,



Ray
