If she is that long she is definitely mature enough to breed, but in order to have fertile eggs she must be brumated (hibernated at 55 /- degrees) for around 12 weeks. If she looks too thin for hibernation it is not a great idea to hibernate her. A good weight before hibernation is around 300 grams. I have hibernated and bred Thayeri at 280 grams and I have some close to 500 grams.
Usually if you have a question on if she will breed or not, the best choice is to wait another year. IMHO.
Send me a picture of the female to this address if you can:
