my personal opinion is that some people put too much emphasis on breeding size, not breeding age. it is healthier to make sure they are of proper age more than the "need to be 12 feet in size to breed". they will let you know when they are ready. more 9 or 10 feet mainlands breeder better than 12 or 13 feet ones that arent of ideal age. they may have smaller clutches, but it is healthier for the mom and for the little ones
