I think that's smart. Since she has grown almost a foot in 6 or 7 months, it would indicate she is still a young'un, probably around two years old. Another 14 months of solid feedings and I bet she'll be ready for you. That's the nice thing about the CA's, they do mature faster than colombians and Bcc's.

Put me on the wait list for the babies!

>>She seemed too small to breed that's why I was thinking of waiting until next year. She was about 36 inches long when I got her in march and was really thin. She's put on a lot of weight since then (she was under 450 grams then), but I haven't been pushing her. I was curious if SHE knew that she was too small? Could one ovulate at that size and actually have a viable litter? I figured that she should be at least 4.5 feet and 1500 grams before I introduced the male. Id be too afraid at her current size that she wouldn't make it through a pregnancy.
