Just asking a question. Why would Bonding, make the 20 inch female gravid

Because bonded kings live in groups. They breed when they want to. That is how we found out they will produce eggs at 20".

You see, it is the old school thinking that we breed snakes. in other words when we think they are big enough. Some say 3 feet. Some say at least 4 feet. You see thecommon assumtion was that females needed to be a certain size and they are not introduced uintil the breeder thinks they are of sound size. Basically not having a clue when the females ovulate for 2-3-4 years without fertilization without a male.

Bonded group breed when they are ready. Like they would in nature. So it boils down to choices again. We make assumptions and mistake by talking away choices. We LEARN from choices and bonded groups. That was my point! Otherwsie how would we know that 20" females will ovulate and breed without a male in the cage with them already?
