I think you need to do a bit of reading on it and then come back with some specific questions.

Yes, there's a breeding section on the care sheet, but have a good look at a few others too to get an idea.

It's advisable to wait until your snakes are 3 before you breed them anyway so you've plenty of time to research.

as above but if your snake's only a year old you've got at least a year to research it properly (you can probably get away with a well grown-on male mating at 2 but NOT a female)

i know ppl on her will rip me apart for saying this but anyway ... they say you need the 3 3's to breed snakes, 3 years old, 3 ft long and 300g in weight. how ever i go off the weight more than anything as that is the most dangerous thing for a snake losin too much weight.

would this 3,3,3 rule be more for the females? solid is less than a year old and already weighs around 230 grams, not that it matters much to me as i have no plans for breeding

Yes, the rule of 3 is mainly for females, but the older the male, the more eggs are likly to be fertile.

would there be any danger between the age gap?

For example if the male was 2 and the female is 4 would it be less likely to mate?

the size differance between a 2 year old male and 4 year old female is probably your biggest risk, especially if she's feeling hungry.
