I know people that have put 1500 grams in a year and complain; why aren't the balls breeding?

take a look at humans --you can make a kid that is totally fat but he still isn't going to breed at 6 yrs old

with power feeding you can bring the age of ball breeding down by a year but not two years----normal ball breeding takes three years approx.---with power feeding you can take it down a year

(this is for females).

for males-----there are some morphs out there were genetically they are stronger and grow very rapidly so you can probrably breed them after there first year but most of them still take 18 months-----

breeders will say well I bred them younger---ask yourself a question--how many snakes do they have that went at that age vrs the BP's that didn't--you will get exceptions but you can't completely skip over mother nature..

take your time and produce healthy, big sized clutches. if it looks like you are rushing it you probrably are.
