breeding season question
I was curious as to what age the breeding season starts to affect male BP, or when they hit "puberty" lol

Out of my males (all but 2 raised since hatchlings), I haven't seen the "puberty" behavior any younger than 7-8 months old and 700g or so. I do know it does happen younger and smaller, just haven't personally witnessed it

If you maintain constant environmental conditions, and don't have any females around, you may never see it. In the wild, "breeding season" is triggered by environmental changes in things like temperature and rainfall. In captivity, we control those factors.

I honestly have not seen breeding behaviors in males.. My friends female likes to fast in the September/October months, but I honestly think that BP's will breed if given the chance. My buddy has a spider, and pastel together, and they have been locking up for the past three weeks!

They can breed year round. However, low barometric pressure (stormy/rainy weather) does make them really frisky.
And most typically do go off feed in the winter/breeding season.
Males can be sexually mature on average at a year old/500-800g. But some males have been seen to breed successfully as small at 3 months/200g.

My guy is about 10 months old, he ate really well for breeder (one of main reasons I picked him) and he had not eaten since I got him about a month ago. I have seen in other posts about them not eating during breeding season so I was curious. Thanks!
