How big was the female that laid the eggs? How big was the male that bred her?

If a snake eats the way I want it to eat, I get them to about 40" in about 12 months. I consider this size to be a safe minimum for both sexes. I usually do not push males beyond this size, but will grow females as large as they can get.

That means, however, that if my snakes are born in August 2012, it will be the spring of 2014 when they breed. If I could breed them in the spring of 2013, that would be an amazing quick turnaround. I'll try doing it this year and will see what happens.
