usually how many months old do the females have to be to start laying eggs and showing interest in mating.

My very first group of imitators began serious breeding at 6 months of age, and probably raised their first tads on the second or third attempt about a month later. Both males and females were the same age. The males began calling at 5 months. Imitators are precocious.
