Size of female

ademar Apr 30, 2009 01:12 AM

Hi, this is my first message, but i`m on forum quite long time. I have a 270 g western hognose female. As she reach 300 g i want to breed her. And here is my question, after breeding and laying egss, if she will be able to grow bigger ? I feel that she can be a very big female, but i want to breed her in this year. She is around 1 year old.

She should do just fine for you.
almost all of ny females that I have waited till 300g to breed have done very well and continue to grow at a very good rate.. most are 400-600g range now.
