personally, i wouldnt add a female to a male until she was just about full adult size. it's not gonna do you or your animals any good to breed them too early. raising satanics is already hard enough....you might get some eggs yet the young are possibly gonna be too smal to make it. maybe it's just me, but i would maybe recommend waiting for something like when the female starts laying duds....still i dont know if that could happen early, but you're risking a lot breeding a young satanic.

i too wait until they are a year and a half, but one of my cb females i had to wait until she was 2 becuse all she did was throw duds. She ended up having to be the full size and i am finally getting decent eggs. I learned that p[aitence is key when try to get phants to breed.
