Suriname Breeding size

slacker6848 Sep 07, 2008 04:18 PM

Hi, I have an 04 Female Suriname RTB that is about 6 1/2 ft and about 13lbs, is this too small or could I breed her this year?
Heres some pics of her from May 3rd so she's put on a little weight since then

Thanks
Zack

This is just my opinion, She would probably have enough size and even her weight in the photo look good to breed. I would however give her another year to put on muscle mass, so I would feed her an extra large rat every two weeks so she does not "fatten" up.
Again these are just my opinions but many will agree and many will disagree, in the end you have to ask yourself what you think is best for your animals.
Be well
Joel
