Question:

breeding carpet pythons?

carpet pythons reach sexual maturity at three years but is it ok to breed them at three years

Answer:

you do not choose to reproduce your carpet python, it might want to don't have any result on the snakes well being. there are a determination of carpet pythons available already. I propose you regulate your vet, no longer breed your python.
Gee...they're slow...I started at two......
Its ok. Just as long as you understand the process of breeding. It is not as easy at it would seem sometimes. In almost every animal, when we classify it as reaching sexual maturity, that means in nature that it will do it naturally on its own. Your biggest worry is just getting the right environment set up. Good Luck
It doesn't just depend on age - size and weight also need to be taken into account. A female will obviously need to be in top condition as producing eggs takes a very large toll on their bodies. Depending on what species of carpet, it's often best to wait until they are 3 - 5 years before attempting breeding, and the female to be at least 2.5kg and over 6ft. (eg. coastals, murray darlings, diamonds) Females of smaller variaties such as the irian jaya and certain jungle carpets should be at least 2kg and in good condition. One exception to this rule is the bredli python, most breeders find that they need to be at least 4 years old and over 3 - 4kg to succesfully breed. Hope this helps.
