My male dragon is 16.5" long and weighs 325 grams. I was just wondering if he was big enough for how long he is. Also, to breed they must be at least 300 grams right? Thanks.

Seems like a good size. Does he look plump enough. Males aren't as size dependant as females for breeding so as long as he is old enough to figure it out it should be alright.

Okay. Thanks. My female is 425 grams and 18 inches long. Does she seem large enough to breed? She has had no problems in the past laying her eggs, just wondering.

Yes, she seems large enough. As long as she looks like that is a good weight for her and seems to be in overall good health

My initial answer would be sure. But it would also be good if she is 18 months or older and is that a normal healthy weight for her? Meaning if she normally weighs in at 500 or 600 grams you wouldn't want to do it right now at 400 something, it would be better to wait until she got back up to her normal weight. But if that is what she weighs normally I don't see anything wrong with it.
