Re: Is she big enough?
Yeah, I wouldn't breed anything under 1500 but the absolute minimum in my opinion is 1300 and even then it would really depend on the snake. How old, length. Breeding too soon is dangerous.

How old is she?
Choosing a breeding candidate depends on a combination of things: Size, Age,-Maturity and Body Condition.
Most people just blindly breed their females at 1500g.
But it's not just a set weight. You have to look at the snake's overall body condition and maturity too. A mature short chunky female at 1200 grams is a better breeding candidate than a long skinny 1800 gram girl, for example.
That 1200 gram girl has a better shot at enduring the breeding season with the better body condition and fat reserves than the skinny 1800 gram one. And some girls just never get large or exceed 1200g even though they can be a few years old.

Re: Is she big enough?
I'd say go for it. She's probably going to gain a lot of weight while she builds as well.

Late 2011? How is she eating? What has her growth pattern been? Is she gaining weight now?
Based on the limited knowledge I have now, I would probably say wait. Really just depends. 1500 is a good starting guide, but is clearly not the only thing to consider.

Re: Is she big enough?
For me to give an honest answer I would prefer to see a pic to see how she is built. With that said... There is no rule at all that says what weight/size the female or male for that matter has to be to breed. I remember awhile back when it was said that the females had to be 1100 grams to breed and then a few years later it was 1200 and now people say 1500.... For me it all depends on the individual animal and how they look for me to know if I am going to breed them.
edit:
I just saw the pic... I would breed her without a doubt.

She likes to fast. She's gained about 100 grams in the last 2 months
