i think age (maturity) is most important when determining time for breeding, then weight. if she is three years old and had good weight (i would guess 8lbs to be good for a five foot female), but best is to give it a year if your worried. better to wait and have a better outcome. is this a columbian? if it is a dwarf species then she is probably near full grown and the other general rules would not exactly apply to her (if shes a dwarf species).

I have a female redtail about 3 years old. She is 5 feet in length and thick. I was wondering if she is able to breed. I thought the length was 6 feet, but people have been telling me that they can breed at 5 feet. I also care for my animals and don't want her to get hurt.I am just looking for opinions on what you think. I prob. won't breed her this year. She is a nice bright pink pastel though and so isn't my male. My male is 4.5 feet.
