I do not breed a female until she is at least 400 grams. That is a safe weight in which they can handle breeding with no issues. Some people like to wait until they are larger, about 450-500, but some females don't even get that big.

I have always heard 350g or more is fine..but it also depends on the female's overall size too... a 18" dragon is going to weigh less at ideal weight than a 22" dragon. Then again I never like to recommend breeding any female or male who is under 16".

Female should also be at least 15 months old too.
