Actually,just because she's a year old doesn't mean that she is cycling eggs. She may even be ready to brumate if she is of proper weight and healthy.If you have an adult pair that are healthy and breeding size,they may mate even without their first brumation...otherwise,brumating for 2-4 months may get them ready to breed. You don't rely on the dragon's age for determining if it's old enough to breed. Big mistake,as some people own dragons that are a year old but not even 15" and visibly too thin to breed.A female should be at least 16" and preferably bigger to stand the rigors of carrying many eggs which can deplete her nutritionally and can cause serious health problems and stunted growth.
