Yes, I've had dragons bigger then some breeders at four months. I'm really new into breeding reptiles though. So I've decsided that I would rather be safe then sorry. I have a Male that is about a year old. He's almost 22 inches and 698 grams yet is still growing every time I measure and weigh him. He was showing breeding behavior at four months old. I was told that the reason for not breeding a male too early is the risk of a prolapse do to the dragon not being fully developed. Just the thought of that made me decside to wait. My females are all over 19 inches at 10 months and both over 500 grams. Being that I'm a beginner I just took the suggestions. I'm sure some breeders would have had my dragons gravid by now. But I can wait if it is healthier for my dragons. How exactly can you tell your females are ready, or able to produce eggs at younger then 18 months?
