both should be at least 40 grams. Female should ideally be more, and probably not under a year or so. She should be nice and fat w/pockets of fat in her armpits. Set up your incubator first. If the oldest is 18 months, I would say cool them this winter, and breed in early spring. She will be ready by then, and you only need to keep them together until the job is done a few times. You may house them together, but some females won't lay if they are stressed out by a male. Good Luck, and spend your winter reading up on leo breeding.
