 Snakes breeding size?

How long does it take a snake from being a juvenile to when its time when it can start to breed?

At average growth rate it usually takes until their third year, but sexual maturity for snakes comes with size rather than age, meaning a slightly overfed kingsnake can reach sexual maturity in half that time.

I waited 2 12 years til I breed my hondurans.she was 5 1/2 ft and 3 lbs,he was 44 inches and maybe pound and a half,2 at the most..Some people will power feed to get the weight on,but that will shorten their life.
