Hey guys
what's the smallest size (weight) or age you can start breeding a male boa at ?

Well, some people say 18 months for a male. They should be producing sperm by this point, but you may or may not have any luck using them for breeding. If you have my luck, they will need to be a minimum of 3 years old and 10lbs. I've seen 3' males breeding and if you're talking ball pythons, I think some people will try to breed them after their first shed, LOL!

I have been unsuccessful at breeding males at 18 months old. I think that I raise them too slow for it, but I have good results at 2 1/2 yrs, and between 3-4 feet.
