All about weight

How much do the female have to weigh before breeding? everyone is telling me different, and now I´m confused.

And how many gram should a one year old cornsnake weigh for example?
 
3 years/36"/300grams. I'd say weight is most important, without question. I'm not sure that I'd breed a 300 gram year old snake either, but that's just me.

As far as a yearling, who knows. You've got people like Dean with 140gram snakes that were born in 2005, so when next summer rolls around you'll probably be looking at a 300 gram yearling, or so.

I've got some yearlings from Rich that are 50-60 grams, and I've got some of my own that are less than that. It's all about genetics and food supply.
 
thanks for your answer, I did just weigh my albino bloodred and she was 131 grams, she is born 18 september 2004.

Is that to little? or too much?? :)
 
Really just depends on the individual snake. Hunter is an 03, healthy and 187 grams (I think.. its close to that anyhow, paper with weight is somewhere here LOL) while Treasure is a late 04 (born the end of November 2004) and is weighing in at 281 grams. The weight and length really don't have anything to do with age (or so I've read on here 400 million times ~,~) Again, with mine, Hunter is 39 inches, and Treasure is near 50 inches.
