this is my new female bp, i picked her up on saturday, she is an awesome snake, here is some quick pics of her i wieghed her tonight and she is at 1590Grams no food in her, well here she is, my plan is to breed her to one of my good friends spiders give him all the eggs and hopefully get a little spider out of it!!
i dont know her exact length im guessing she is pushing 4 ft, i wear size 13 1/2 shoe just for reference....

Congrats on the new pickup and good luck getting that little spider! Looks like she is long, so you might want to add some more weight before breeding her...

Congrats on the new snake.
Now stop touching her!!
Put her away and leave her alone for two weeks.

It depends on the animal; TYPICALLY (i.e., rule of thumb), minimum weight for a female is 1500+ grams and she should have already been through her 3rd winter. There are always exceptions. I know breeders that let their females breed at 1200g and I know breeders who wait until they are 2200g.

My eldest male is long and "skinny" and my eldest female is shorter and "chunky." Body types can influence when they are ready. A longer female might not abide by the 1500g minimum rule of thumb, whereas a shorter girl might.

Mykee or Julian, please chime in if I'm mistaken.
