good points Don. And this is what I wanted, the people who have been breeding for a long time to get in with their opinions.

With what you said about a corn being 36" safe to breed depending on health, size. How many grams do you consider good size for a 36" corn snake that is 2 years or less, to breed?

I have always been told by different people about the 300grams, 3 years old and 3 feet rule. With all the differnt negative possibilities of breeding younger snakes, I think the cons outweigh the pros. Again, that is my opinion. It also has to do with the fact that I have learned from experience.

I am not trying to put my opinions on others. Like I mentioned in another post, this is one of those things where people are set in their way of thinking. I am not trying to tell people what they should do with their own corns. I have just learned that it is not healthy.

I read the other post about this topic and it made me think that what was being said is its ok to breed all corns at 18 months. I just felt that people should know about the possibilities of complications. Like you said, one subject should not be talked about without the other (size and age). I know it is hard to get someones intent and tone in a letter/post, and I may be mistaken on how the original post was intended. But, I totally agree with you that there are other issues besides age.
