Nice lookin girl. How old is she? And what is her length? Are you going by her length, size and weight or her age for breeding? Just curious to know and to compare with my female. Mine will be 28 months this coming Wednesday and she is approx. 9 feet(hard to get exact when she is head shy and won't be still long enough). I do know she is at least 12 inches longer than her cage, which is 7 feet long. So, I guess 8-9 feet would be a better assumption.

I am going by her giving me 25 babies this past July, I think she is over 9 feet and about 45 lbs and she is 5 years old.

enough and you have time to add a litle more weight, I believe in giving them a year off in most cases, but she looks primed, if you do breed compare results, sometimes you get more, not less with yearly breeding, if not, then give her the next year off. Keep us posted.

LOL, good answer I would say that is good for a first litter. I am waiting til my girl is at least 4 yrs old before attempting breeding and if I can find the male that I want. Thanks for your reply. Best of luck in the future. She is a beauty(though not as gorgeous as my Nefertiti )
