Minimum size for breeding?

[stevesemerko]

I am not sure if anyone has posted something like this already but I was just wondering what the minimum size for breeding corns is? I have books but all the books I have only give age and some corns may get bigger faster and be breeding size sooner. So I just need to know the minimum size.

Thanks

I won't breed my females unless they are 4 ft. long and a good girth.

My minimum size is:
Males 24"+
Females 36" +

I just had a 36" female 2001 okeetee lay 12 eggs and have a 25" snow male that is a good breeder it inpregnated 2 snow females one layed 18 eegs the other 14! I guess it just depends on the breeder!

Here is a question I've been pondering...

What is the biggest acceptable size difference between males and females?

If I had a 48" female, would it be safe to pair her up with a 30" male?

Anyway, just wanting some feedback if anyone has any experiences with wide size difference gaps... :)

That 25" male 01" snow was brumated and bred with two snow females and has already bred with them for second clutch. He is now 33" but at the first breeding for first clutch he was 25" and bred one snow female that was 44" (the one that layed 14 eggs) and the other snow female was 50" (the one that layed 18 eggs). So go figure!

Hmmm.... Good to know. :)

I go with a minimum of 320 grams on a female and 18 months of age on males
