You guys should get these in for HOTM unless there are better pics than these.
Deb, if you have that same pic with a tongue sticking out it would melt me.

Females can get to breeding size in 18 months or even less. 2 years is kind of the rule of thumb though to ensure they are ready. Males, one year as stated.
Weights are pretty good - but I found my male did his best work once he reached closer to 90 grams. I put him in at 65 grams and it was really rough with no success against my 500 gram girl and my 300 grammer, but when he hit 90 he did the work great.
My girl first bred at 18 months, but slugged out - my second girl who was the 300 grammer, bred at 23 months, and just laid 9 eggs.
They are extremely forgiving, and despite the popular belief you must cool them / brumate them in order to get them to breed, I had success this year with no brumation on the female, but allowing the male to drop in temps simply because he went off food in October, and came back on food this February.
It's hard to track males growth, because they will go from 6-8 grams to 80 grams in 10 -14 months but the rate is so steady that the difference is not that noticeable. Females, when fed well weekly, will get a noticeable growth. I'll try and post some before and after pics of my kiddos later. Here's an oldie but a goodie
