it depends on the snakes and your feeding routine.

For mainland stock... males 36 months is average with routine feeding, but we have males that have bred at 18 months relatively consistently- but this should not be considered the norm. Other males may take longer, especially if fed a slower regimen.

Females average out at 48 months, and around 40 lbs before ready to breed. Some are ready sooner and smaller, and some older and larger, but those are general rules of thumb.

Good luck with your project!
