Well mine are finally pipping out of the egg. I have 12 new kids to feed. They pipped right at 78 days. I incubated them at 89 degrees. I will get pics of them tonight. One has a solid stripe down its back.
As far as sexual maturity is concerned, I purchased my supers as babies 4 1/2 years ago. I fed them well but did not power feed them. I did put them together at the beginning of last year and they did not seem interested so I just kept feeding them and put them together later on in the year. I only witnessed copulation twice so I wasn't sure if she was going to take. I think they did most of their work at night.
I think 4 years is probably the minimum for breeding the super dwarves as long as they are good and healthy. My female is around eight foot long and isn't even as round as a baseball. The male is just a tad smaller.
I am certainly no expert. I am just giving my opinion based on my experiences.
Hope this helped!
