Size is much less of a consideration with males,but may be a factor in successfully breeding with a larger,less "willing"female....18-24 months for most males,and 2-3 years for females (5-6 ft. Or better due to the fact that they can produce up to 20 large eggs,and in my opinion it would suck to lose a female through some complication by rushing to breed her too early.)
