if you breed a female to young and underweight it can harm her, even kill her. if she does survive she it can stunt her growth and lower her egg count. i would wait until at LEAST 18 months, to start and at least 350 grams. some wait longer, some dont, but for good healthy babies, and a healthy breeding dragon i would hold off for awhile.
