is this snake possible breeding size?

[ClosedCasket88]

my northwestern put on alota weight and gained alota length since i got him in the fall ,im impressed and i cant weight to breed him , hes about almost 2 ft , being 21 inches(todays shed ) i was thinkin of givin him another week or two to put on weight and then give him a few weeks then artificialy hibernate him in a fridge since it will be warm in my region by then .
would he be breedable size? his mate is a tad bit over 2 and a half ft and she bred last year with a different male and shes ready to go and there both extremely healthy, whadya say , is it worth a shot?

Yep. He's ready. Are you going to put them both into brumation? It would increase your odds. She needs to be producing the right odor to stimulate him, and that's based on her production of pheromones (vitellogenin).

well ofcourse i would brumate both of them.
any other ideas on gettin the male a lil more pumped up
hes takin scented pinkies and worms, buti cant getahold ofany minnows or anything

Besides a good brumation, you might consider a little male-male competition for the female's attention. Sorry for the "stupid question," but I'm sure you know how many times things go wrong when you assume people are covering the basics. No offense meant.
