I would not breed them now, at 1000 grams. Some will say if they are three years old at least, fat, and 1000 grams go ahead, but my MINIMUM, is 1300 grams, but 9 out of 10 of my breedings, the females are at least 1500 grams, more weigh in at 1800 grams. I would rather wait a year and produce 8 viable eggs than push it and maybe get 3 eggs and 3 slugs. It is just not worth it to me. This is just my OPINION. Others will have different opinions. She was 2200 grams at the time, and got 10 good eggs. I just like big clutches.
