Corn Snake Breeding

usually confused
generally they say that the female at least has to be 2-3 years old at the youngest, or over a certain weight (my memory escapes me as to HOW heavy they need to be). I cant tell you how hard/easy they are to breed, as mine are not old enough yet, but from my research they are fairly easy (compared to some of the tree-python/boa families)

On a scale of 1-10, cornsnake breeding is a 1 compared to other snakes :devil01:

The rule usually is 300 grams minimum, though some people will go a bit lower.luvofthechase said:

Typically for females 3 years, 3 feet long, 300 grams - males whenever they are ready - often at 2 years, no matter their size.
While corns breed readily in captivity, so they will reproduce for you, but the bigger issues are around whether you are prepared to be a breeder - mostly are you prepared to deal with 15-30 hatchlings, get them started and find new homes for all of them, or deal with them til you can. While established breeders have markets and are able to sell or place babies, they can be a considerable responsibility to house, feed and care for if they don't all sell. Many times pet stores and friends seem like a quick way to place them but those don't always work out - so just a warning to be prepared!
