thanks for asking this question ladyserpent as i have been mulling this over for some time, and thanks for all the answers from eveybody to her question it has put my mind at ease for a bit.

but would like to ask a question when is an adult to old to breed both male and female and is there a reason for this
i understand the reason behind living them until they are about 3 to 4 years old.

I don't think there is a set age for "too old," provided the animal is well cared for and has had sufficient breaks/time off during their breeding life. I know one breeder in particular who has animals in their mid to high teens that still produce the occasional litter when bred.

BTW, is it just me, or did anyone else originally (mis)read the thread title as "Question for where do babies come from"?
