I would wait until she was at least 5yrs old. Age, is much more important a factor than size. Of course, there is a happy median between age/size, but age is the most important. Boas that are raised slowly, " especially B.C.C. " will be more long lived and also breed more readily. My most productive Peruvian at one time was barely 6ft long and over 10yrs old.........John Johnson


I have a female peruvian that was 3 years old in March and about the same size(12 lbs)... she produced a small litter this fall. As long as her weight is good I see no problems with breeding her.
