Hi there, I'm writing from Argentina. Does any one knows the minimal breeding size in inches not in years of L. alterna. Thanks

My experience and what I have read on the subject on the length needed for breeding is 26 inches. I have never bred an alterna less than 26 inches, but there may be some out there who will differ with me. I could see a genetic midget well under 26 inches able to mate, but I have'nt seen or heard of one. Anyone have more experience?

My female is 24 inches. So I will wait some time. THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER.
