I have two female jungle carpets they are 03's around 3ft and maybe at the widest point as big around as a golf ball. I have been feeding them wean. rats. Any info on what size they should be for breeding is appreciated.

Different folks will have different opinions about this but....
I would hold off on those for one more year. Shoot for 1250-1500 grams or so.
Then again, if they will breed......I am sure male jungles crawling through the trees don't weigh potential females first. In my experience when I have tried to breed a "borderline" female she either bred with no problems, or I saw no copulation.

I'm glad you answered, I was wondering the thing about my female. Where is a good place to get a scale for weighing snakes, and what's a good method of doing so. I got rid of my scales back in the day, lol.

Try Wal-Mart. They have electronic scales of various capacity, many will do oz/gram conversion instantly.
