Can a boa reach the correct size and muscle tone to breed in under 2 seasons without becoming obese?
I know my male has but what about feamles?
Im not goin to rush as I am fully aware of all the dangers - just wondered really.
cheers

Yes and No... Lets put it this way... Yes they can breed at two and yes you will get viable young, BUT it does some damage to the boa, they wont be able to breed for as long, their life expectance decreases, the litter from the first year maybe small or she may have problems with delivery from being to small but it can be done and it is done every year. 2 1/2 -3 years should make it much easier on the animal to have proper weight and maturity, BUT in the end its up to you what to do with your animals, there are consequences and benifits to both options...
Sincerely,
