So my female is 7 years old this year. She'll be 8 years old next year. Does anybody think it would be safe to brumate her from November '13-January '14 and then breed her again next year or would you say she'd be best resting from now on? I personally don't know as she's not actually showing any age right now but I don't know what she'll be like next year.
My male is fine to breed next year as he's only 5 years old but I only have the one female so if she can't breed then I won't be breeding at all next year.
Thoughts? |

Is it? I thought it would have been the time that you start resting them down and retiring them lol. Hence the question XD |

I've heard of female corns breeding into their teens without ill-effects :o
Really though it probably depends on the individual female; if she's still fit and healthy and is big enough (which I assume she is at that age), she'd probably be fine :)
Then again I have zero first-hand experience so... :P |

Well he's definitely big enough at 5'6" long  She'd just need a bit of bulking up before the brumation as she lost quite a bit of weight laying her clutch this year which she had no problems with  Thanks guys!
I am going to be keeping an eye on her though as I knew she was due to shed so I went to check on her, she's shed alright... In about a million pieces. She's never had a bad shed in her entire life and suddenly two bad sheds one after the other come out of no-where. |

I've just heard of a 13yr old corn laying slugs for the first time  ! I know breeding is different and takes more out of them but as long as she's healthy and a good weight, which I know you'll make sure of, she should be fine .

I think corn snakes can keep breeding until their either become infertile or aren't able to keep up their bodyweight/condition so it becomes unsafe. From the research I have done, many corns can and do breed even into the beginning of their teens!
How are your eggs doing? Is the burst one still okay? |
