Is my girl ready to breed?

danya Aug 12, 2003 01:41 PM

Hello every one. I was woundering if my 37 gram female is large enough to breed. My males are much larger but they are also two maybe three times her age.

I would suggest waiting till she is atleast 50 g

heres how it is in breeding leos. a gecko can breed at as little as 30g! but its a very bad idea. its like a human girl, lets say 13, she CAN have a baby, but its not good for her at all, and will probably be lots of complications. 45g-50g is much safer, but the bigger the better. most breeders wait till over 50g.
