6mo old males breeding, how common is this?

Granted it depends on what they are eating, but im wondering if my 05 spiders have any chance at breeding this year. Id like to hear some experiences.

1) if the animal is producing sperm and just as important, 2) if the animal is mature enough. Just because he can does not mean he will. I have heard of 450 gram males being breeding cyclones. More often I have found males do not show any real breeding interest until around 700 grams.

The only real way to test is to throw him in with a female - sink or swim.
