How many litters would you produce from one female before you consider retiring her from breeding?

Love to hear more about this. I believe if the female is able to put weight on and appear healthy and vibrant their shouldnt be an issue with "how many times". The female probably will show signs of retirement (no expert here). Poor litters , less than normal recovery after the litter drops....... Pay attn to your animals and they will let you know when its time (in my opinion) . I thought the original hypo was bred around 10 or 11 yrs in a row successfully.

I believe you right about reading the signs but you hear about these boas that get bound up or don't recover. I guess it could happen on the first litter or her 10th.
