They live about 6-10 + years

They can breed in about between 9 months and 1 1/2 years

thank you.

but you mean females can only be bred until an age
of 1 1/2 years?!

No he means some knobtails don't start breeding until 18 months, some sooner. Most smooths breed at about a year if their weight is right, Amyaes usually have to be aboput 18 months with good weight to breed.

They usually breed productively into their 6th year /- then it slows down.
