From what I've read females need to be MINIMUM 1000 grams, but overall size, not just wieght is important too! A 1 year old that is power-fed can reach a fat 1000 grams, but still be too young for RESPONSIBLE breeding.

Try reading up on the topic some more, my guess is if you don't know the proper weight, you probably don't know everything you need to about everything else there is to breeding balls. The more you read the better chance you have of success.

I like 'The Complete Ball Python' by Kevin McCurly, I think there's a post on here about it.

Good luck, hope this helps
