Breeding weight

[Weather1]

How much should a female weigh before she is used for breeding?

Does it really matter how much the male weighs? or what should his weight be?

Thanks for the info.

600-800 for males.
1500g for first time females that are 4'. An older longer female should be havier. Fat reserves equals eggs. A clutch of eggs takes a lot out of a female that's why it is so important to have her up to weight. She also has to be in 100% perfect health.
Cheers,

Wow Trevor, did you get that outta a book, or just off the top of your head, because that is the most informative answer I've ever read to that question.

Off the top of my head but it's only up there because I've watched my Breeding Ball Pythons video a 100 times!lol
Thanks,
