Off the top of my head I am not sure, but I would say ask Frank. (FRoberts). I know he's got some stuff that is in it's late teens and 20's that's still breeding for him.:cheers:

I had a boa that gave birth when she was over 25 years old she has 47 babies as her last litter. She died later that year from a unrelated problem.

I just posted this question on an another forum and was wondering how old are your current breeders before you remove them from your breeding trails? Do you go to one year on and one year off after a certain age and what age is that?

Thanks.

If the snakes show no signs of aging I continue to breed them :yes:
