>>although by heavy feeeding a male boa could get some size at 9 months, I believe it would be a hazard to his health to try to breed that earlier. I even shy away from breeding 18 month old males, I find they are way better breeders at 2-3 years of age.

I agree, however it also depends on size and health as well.

I'll try an 18 - 24 month old male, but if shows no interest in a few days I just move on with another male.

I've had the best luck with healthy 2-3 yr old males.
