| They've been known to breed from as young as 6 months, but I'd say at least a year and at least 600g, preferably 1000g before I thought about it. Obviously you'd have a 1500g+ female he'd be breeding with so you wouldn't want there to be too much of a size difference or he may get squashed/eaten! |

| ideally put them in together for a few days or a week at a time for mating and house them separately the rest of the time |
Dumerils boas, BCO hybrids, Sinder Hypo boas, cornsnakes, ratsnakes, Day Geckos

| Snakes are not communal, so I would not keep any together personally. |
