Another possible controversial subject.

some slight difference of opinion already, care to explain why you think 1500 and why you think 1200?

I'd say personally anything from 1500g.

My personal opinion is around 1500g.

But their are always exceptions.
It depends on their length and age aswell.

You may have a 5 year old BP female that only weighs 1200g.

I would give her a chance to breed.

My opinion! Cool

Off the Soap Box and give an opinion Wethepeople!

People are always going to set targets! What in your opinion is the safer weight to aim for or is your arse stuck on that fence?

No soap box. Obviously everyone wants something to aim for but it just seems to me like too many people rush their royals to certain weights.

I agree, plenty of people powerfeed to get females up to 1500g as soon as possible for breeding.
Jase is ok, he mainly keeps snakes that eat for fun Laughing
