How big does a male have to be to breed?

I don't know the weight(I don't have a scale), so if someone wants to make a guess, I'd appriciate it. I've got an 07 pastel that's just over two feet long and pretty thick, eats two small adult mice a week. I don't know how big/old he has to be to breed, but he's my first morph so I'd like to breed him this year if possible?

I've heard something about letting two males fight and then putting the "winner"(whichever I want to breed) in with the female to help get him breeding. Does this work? is it safe? if so, how would I go about doing this?

Thanks
