no you wont stunt her by breeding her, you can cause complications by doing it early, but as shes up to size, then it shouldnt be a problem.
On the flip side, the bigger she is the more chance you have of having no complications, and also, if shes a big girl, you will get more eggs. |

It has on more than a few occasions affected their ability to live. |

When you say affected their ability to live you mean due to egg binding or?
I know that undersized corns shouldn't be bred but sometimes it does happen, I just want to know if there are long term effects even if the female passed the eggs healthily etc and what are they if there is?

| by that i meant that quite often it kills the females, due to complications of being too small and under matured to be able to make and produce healthy eggs. Like many animals, snakes will kill themselves to create a healthy clutch. |

Aye, I was so so worried about egg binding with my little female,
but she pulled through and i'm leaving her 'til she's definately definately big enough, a year or so probably.
She wasn't stupidly small to be breeding, but she wasn't as big as she should have been :( |
