I would wait until she's 3 years old, just be be on the safe side. You can have problems if they breed too young. |

Because my corn snake first laid at about 11 months and laid two clutches, what problems could she encounter? She's my favourite and apart from obviously keeping her away from a male is there anything else I can do health-wise to compensate for her early breeding? |

One of my friends in Portugal breeds corn snakes for his pet shop in London. He said to get better rates on healthy hatchlings it is worth breeding the female when she is 5 years old. Plus around that age they are least likely to get problems. Its a good idea to not double clutch as you are risking dystocia or prolapses. |
