B.smithi too old?

[sstellw]

I raised my female B.smithi from a small sling. She is now almost 10, and is due to molt this year. I want to breed her because I know they are on CITES and it can only help to get more of these out there. I just wanted to know if she is too old to breed, and if not, get your males ready guys

She shouldn't be. they can live for 25 years or more. They do require a cooling period so it may be better to breed in the fall.
