Reptile & Amphibian Forums

this might end up being a double post- I posted it but I don't see it coming up on the forum. Can someone post pics of what a small breeder female, and a yearling brb? I'd like to get a visual idea of the size mine will need to be when she's ready breed. How large does a female need to be to breed, and generally old does she have to be. I have a female brb but I think she was considered very small for her age when I got her, she eats pretty regularly but I feel like she's somewhat of a "slow grower" could this be because she was born really small...like a preme baby and might be experiencing a decreased growth rate? I've heard that the size of offspring is often related to the size of the mother- is it likely that her mother was breed at a young age/was small?

I don't have the photo's but if you want size information about the earliest, in terms of size, that a female can be bred and how big you can expect a yearling to be then all that info is on Daves webpage. It is the rainbows-r-us sponsor link at the top of the rainbow boa forum page. Look at the BRB general caresheet and the info is there. I'm sure it is also in many other places on sponsors websites and in forum posts but I knew where that one was so I mentioned it.

Hope that info will answer your questions, if not post back here and someone will get you what you need to know.

Sean.
