Aubrey -
You are going to find a LOT of conflicting info as far as weights are concerned, this is mainly due to a huge variability in female size (I have adult females ranging from 4' to over 6'). So, instead of looking at it in terms of numbers, consider age and growth rate. Once they slow in length and their body bulks up a little, they should be good to go. It is possible to have a woma produce in as little as 18months if they are extremely aggressively fed - not my recommendation, but it is possible. On a healthy feeding schedule, she will be either closing in on her third or fourth birthdays before she breeds.
They will breed across a fairly wide time period - I have known people to hatch eggs as early as March and as late as Sept. It depends a lot on the pre-conditioning of the female and cycling of the animals.
