Default Royal Python Breeding

Hopefully next year I'll be able to breed my royals - just a few q's. I'm not taking this lightly, Its something that deeply interests me. The health and safety of the snakes is the first thing on my mind. How old do they need to be? I'm aware females should be 1400g and males around 700g, but if someone overfed their snake they may have a 1400g year old girl (highly unlikely i know), but what is a 'safe age' for breeding them? I think, my girl is a late 06 (not sure of weight yet) Thanks for any extra info, or links to websites. Ben

Well aslong as you dont have a fat royal...any aged female around 1500grams +...alot of females will reach this at 1.5-2 years of age...
Males have been bred by Markus Jayne at the age of 12 weeks! But aslong as they are around 700grams they will be ok

Suggest you get a book...i have aload of books for each species i keep so i just read them if i am not online...alot easier than routing through google, and routing through google is a piece of pi$$ lol

I tend to go more on look and feel with background than weight really, as in i have a 1200g girl who's a chunk gal and is an 04 so she's not the minial weight but she feeds like a horse, is build like a brick .... house and is of sound age, on the flip side i have a 1600g 03 girl here who is proven but won't breed because she's not solid and doesn't look up to the job this year so she'll have a resting year.

Males can produce viable sperm from 400g but it's not necessarily advisable to start em breeding then because if they go off food and just breed, breed, breed they run the risk of becoming anorexic then you got problems!
