I am just curious when you guys "retire" your female breeders? And males too I guess. I saw the 8 pound female that is 20 years old below,,,,and still a breeder!!??? Is this normal?

She is looking great for this year as well, and has been locked up several times, she was 5,700 grams when she laid last year..... I have not got a new wieght on her, but I know shes put all that back on, and maybe a bit more.

I have a 23yr old female still kicking out nine eggs a clutch and the biggest eggs I have ever seen. St Louis Zoo had a female lay eggs as old as 37 yrs old. More depends on health than age.

Someone at the Indianapolis show had a huge female at one show this past year. She must have been around 6 feet. Biggest BP I've ever seen, anyway.
What's your biggest?

It depends a lot on how well taken care of they are. They can live into their nearly fifty years. I forget what the record is, but it's way up there.
