How old were you?

I was just wondering how old you were when you first started breeding corns? And what would you say is your greatest breeding achievement so far?
 
Well, I discovered my first clutch 4 days before my 40th B-day. It was an unplanned (she was gravid when I got her) clutch. I didn't have plans to start breeding until next season.
I don't have any great achievements yet, but I do hope to have some beautiful grey morphs, working with Alabama's & Miami's. :)
 
I was 50. Just getting started, so have to say greatest achievement is just figuring out how to do it right--still working on that!
 
I was 20 when my first clutch of Creamsicles hatched. All of 2 years ago! :p
Last year, I had one clutch of corn eggs, a clutch of ball python eggs, and a (unfortunately stillborn) litter of Dumeril's boas.
This year, I'm expecting 4 or 5 more clutches of corn eggs once my ladies have finished actually cooperating, and a litter of Dumeril's. Hopefully, no stillbirths this year. She could literally drop them any day, so I've got my fingers crossed for soon!
 
I haven't started breeding yet. I'm 23 but probably won't actually breed anything for at least a couple more years. I only have two snakes at the moment and trying hard to learn all the genetic stuff so that I won't just be randomly mixing snakes with no clue what I'm making.

I've seen youtube videos of children that look 11 or 12 breeding corn snakes and I was like WTF? There is no way they actually know what they are doing and I wouldn't buy from them but there were lots of comments on their videos of people who wanted to buy which I also figured were tweens and teens.

Personally I think you should know a little something about what you are doing and not still depend on your mommy to feed and cloth you before you start breeding animals.
 
I'm 33, and waiting on my first clutch of Ball Pythons (first clutch of anything) right now... expecting 6 pippers in around 3 weeks! :)
 
I'm 27, and I currently have 3 noses poked out of eggs, and 13 still hiding, from my very first attempt to breed *anything*.
 
Well I don't know if this counts for me but Brandon's corn snake laid eggs this June, and are scheduled to hatch this weekend at the earliest. I'm 19, he is 22 :)
 
I have had corns since I was 24 and had my first clutch last summer, when I was 28. My greatest achievement so far is this year I hatched out a bunch of nice looking caramels and caramel motleys. I was hoping for some butters but alas, my male did not prove het amel. Next year is going to be an even better year!!
 
I was 36 and out of a clutch of 12 only one hatched. I named her Keeper. She died last year. I am 48 now. My greatest accomplishment was in 2006 when I bred a bloodred (that was proven het for stripe) and a fire (with no known hets, but she was the bloodred's sibling) and ended up with a granite stripe.
