How long for females to reach breeding size?
I am planning on picking up a female hatchling at a reptile show pretty soon. My question is about how long would it take for me to breed her? Would she be ready in 2 years?

It's possible for a female to breed within 2 years. I had a girl lay this year at 22 months old...a nice 7 egg clutch.

They all eat and grow differently. Some females will eat every week regardless of anything even in shed and never go off feed. These aggressive eating females will grow very quickly. Others are much more picky and constantly skip meals and go off feed around 1000grams always it seems. These will obviously take longer. I have 2 female hold backs( BumbleBee and Lesserbee ) that just turned 1 year old this month. One is 1200 grams and the other 1100 already. I have a Chocolate and Spotnose coming up on 2 and they are both over 2000 grams. I have a 2 year old Mojave only 800 grams, so it all depends on your girl..
