The age varies by conditions, they are after all reptiles. Examples in the wild some monitor species do not reach breeding potential until 1.5-5 years old, yet in captivity some reach maturity at 6 months, some 1.5 years. Ive seen breeding behavior in mine and have been throwing eggs out since they were about 7 months old, infrequently, then later more frequently.
Ive heard as young as 3 months from a very few keepers.
I hope this helps.

The female appears to have eggs now. Also, those are two different kinds of ackies. Cheers
