    All of those snakes appear to be of breeding size, especially the first one. However, keep in mind bigger snakes will make bigger litters.

    I agree, they are most probably large enough to mate now. Perhaps hold off on the 0.7m females, but mate the other one.
    Of course, by next Spring they will be bigger still!

    Could you post photos of your terataenia, Krzysiek? I'm sure we'd all love to see them. A few members here have them.
