Question male boas?

what age can they breed from?..
i know as they get older, there fertility is stronger, and better, but i heard, and see info ranging from very young, to 2yrs+..

anyone want to shed any light on this?..
maybe sizes / weight?

I would leave it till they are atleast 3yrs old.
This way they have a higher and stronger sperm count. All my males are at least 5 yrs old.
As for size idealy they need to be 4/3 or 2/3 the size of the fe-male ( Fe-male bigger)
The hardest thing about breeding boas is getting them to loose thier vaginity.
However once this is achieved its almost plain sailing from then on.

hope this helps Deano.......
