Panther Breeding question

[RoskaL]

Just wondering about how old a male and female have to be to breed and also how big they should be?
Thanks

Male-- as soon as they are willing and capable. Some three month olds will try to get jiggy. Whether or not they are fertile, thats a different matter.

Female-- General rule of thumb is 1 year or above 60 grams. Some females grow very quickly and are sexually mature at a young age. Problems can occur if a female is too small and bred (they can become egg bound and die)

Thanks for the quick reply

Iv been thinking about getting a female to have a go in future

Is the female hard to care for during breeding? How long does it take after a jiggy jiggy for eggs to pop out?

I only know about ball pythons as that's my project at the moment but love charms

females arent hard, just different.

once theyve gotten jiggy with it it can take 3-6 weeks for them to lay.

you have to make sure you meet there calcium needs for there egg building and for recovery after laying,

you want them to say healthy

Care sheets and Research

I would recommend reading a few caresheets. I am sure someone can provide you with a great one on breeding.
