I strongly agree with Chris!

I too avoid breeding males even at 18 months.



You run a high risk of losing your male at that age in my opinion. I learned that the hard way early on. I'm sure you'll get all sorts of people saying....oh, I did it and it was just fine.



My feeling is. That's good for them. What I've found is...



Treat your boas, the way you want them to treat you!!

The Golden Boa Rule~! ^_^

Giving my snakes time to grow and mature has paid off in that they are bigger, stronger, and in better condition to recoup from the stressful breeding season and will produce for me for years and years
