Um its really up to age. But I get my females to atleast 30(i perfer 35) grames before breeding but it also depends on age(I like them around 1.5-2 years old so I know they wont have any trouble laying)! But its kinda up to you with how much you want to risk it! I know someone who breeds his cresteds at 25 grams? GOOD LUCK! ERIk

It has just about nothing to do with age and everything to do with size and condition of the gecko. I wait until my females are about 35 grams, this is usually between 8-10 months for my animals.
good luck
