First off understand that these are just averages and there are exceptions to every rule but as a general rule males tend to stay between 12-14 feet females get 16 plus. Males can breed at about 8.5 feet or so and females should be atleast 10 but could possibly go a little under. Just remember that if you breed a smaller female with low weight you will probably have a small clutch and it will be much harder for your female to bounce back and put the weight back on. Remember it is always better to wait a little longer and ensure the female is ready, Todd
