if not, then how much longer could he continue to breed?

Some breeders still breed females that are over 20 years old.6 is a great age to breed.My amel male is 6 and he will breed with my arm if I let him.hehehehe...Paul.

wow, 20 years... I didn't even think they normally lived that long.

after age 10 or 11 or so. And they take a little more work and care to get back to normal as they age (just like people!!). I consider about 3 or 4 through about 8 or 9 to be the prime reproductive years, although it is different for each animal.

Thanks for your reply, that is great news to me. I just got a 6 year old male charcoal motley. I would like to try my first hand at breeding and think he will be a good candidate as he has been someone elses breeder for a few years now.
All I have to do now is buy a suitable female for him

Thanks again for your reply

I would love to see your Charcoal Motley. I haven't seen too much of those and I love Motley and Charcoal very much.

Marcel, here are a couple of pics of the Anery Motley that I just got. Don't know if he is Anery A or B yet - I don't know his parents, so I'll just have to wait until he gets a little older.

This is a beauty.. Could be a Charcoal indeed. But testing it by breeding it to a Charcoal would be best I think.

he.. or she, is really nice, prettier than mine. Mine does not have contrast like that. He is about 5 feet long and darker than yours. Also mine has no pattern on his head at all, and his belly is white. Anyways I will post a pic when I get one.

He is still young, only a couple of months old and about 12 inches long - so the contrast will probably change a little bit as he grows, hopefully not too much though. He actually has even darker patterning than in the picture - I used a flash, so it washed some of the dark grey out. I do hope to prove him out through breeding in a couple of years. I'll post some more pics when I get some - right now I am just having some problems getting him to switch from live to f/t - the place where I got him fed live and he really wants nothing to do with f/t - almost acts like he's afraid of them

How can you tell? I thought I would have to wait for some yellow to start showing up, or prove him out by breeding, but I am just a newbee. Are there some other visual clues? Thanks

You can't use yellow as an indicator.
Charcoals (Anery B's)have been known to have yellow crop up.
There is just too much distinction between saddles and background.
Too much white. Just looks Anery A.
