I'd be cautious about letting a female produce infertile clutches-they are more difiicult to lay and so could lead to an egg binding situation. I allow my herps access to mates as soon as they could conceivably be large enough, on the theory that, in the wild,they would definitely be able to find a mate as soon as they were capable of reproduction.

One easy way to downsize a pic is to email it to yourself. Most photo programs have a "resizing" feature as well....
