Are they almost ready?
On another thread I started, somebody suggested Mona's eating strike might be a sign she's ready to breed - especially since her temps have been a bit cool lately. She is a proven breeder, about 3-4 years old, and weighed over 2000g before her feeding strike. So I know she's good to go, but I'm not sure when her mate (Toby) will be ready. He weighed 444g today, after a HUGE meal two days ago & no recent poops... he eats like a machine, and has gained nearly 100g in the last month. Do you think he'll be ready for this fall/winter? If so, when should I introduce them? I haven't seen any sperm plugs that I'm aware of, but he's almost at the "magic" weight! 
Here he is, looking a little fat from this week's meal (he got 2 extra mice from Mona's refusal)

For perspective - this is a standard-sized acoustic guitar
