Could someone please tell me the problems which may be encountered when breeding a female cornsnake at 18 months old and around 80cm in length?
If there are drawbacks please could you let me know.

there are many problems that could arise from breeding too young and too small. you could stunt her growth, she could become eggbound which causes stress or death, and also it sometimes makes them so weak that they die after laying eggs, you also risk breeding her for nothing because the eggs might all be infertile.

A general rule for males is as soon as they want to and for females 3feet(36inches)and/or 300grams.
