Both males at 16 months were leaving sperm plugs around the cage. The dhet father of the first ghost boas was 16 months old when he bred.

One of my DH Snow males bred for me at 14 months old. As long as the female isn't HUGE and there isn't a risk of a younger/smaller male being crushed... I say give 14 a shot

What were the lengths of these snakes? I was wondering the same thing. Thanks Marshall

I don't measure the length of my snakes, but if I had to guess now.... around 30". It was three years back... but he was definently 14 months. Another side note, the litter wasn't all the small.... at 18 babies I was more then happy with the size of the litter.

Thanks,
