    Sounds old enough but what's his current weight? That matters most when breeding bps.

    Well it has been a toss up over the years but a common weight would be above 600ish gram mark. a scale is a good idea if breeding is in your future.

    A male can possibly breed at 400+ grams but most wont. I like a beefy male above around 650 grams because some will stop feeding once they start breeding and that extra weight can carry them through a breeding season if it needs to.
