Appropriate age/weight for breeding snakes

Hey, just like the title says I'm hoping to breed m snakes somewhere down the line and was just curious to see what the consensus on what the appropriate weight/ age a corn should be before it is considered to be breedable

There is the 3 rule to put a kind of a safe minimum for the snakes: 3 ft, 3 years, 300 gr. And there is also consensus that the females have to be fed more often than males in the process.

I'd follow the rule of 3's for females, though males are typically are ready the year before. I've seen tiny males paired with huge females 4 times their size breed successfully, though prepare for the possibility that a young male might not perform well his first year.
