BP weight "categories"?

How would you categorize your bp's by weight?

For example (I'm just making a rough guess here):

Hatchling	0-200g
Sub-adult	200-1000g
Adult	1000g+

Does this vary between males and females? I ask this since males can start breeding at half the weight of a female, and are generally smaller as adults.

And as a side question, what weight do you usually start breeding your females at?

I was wondering the same thing.

Good question. I think the "categories" are at the owner's discretion. For me, I call a hatchling anything under about 300g. My "sub adults" are anything from 300g to ___ and my adults are roughly 1500g and breedable (at least for females). There's a lot of overlap too. Most of my collection is 4-600g and I consider them subadults. I do have one 2000g girl and she's what I call an "adult".

As for what age do you start breeding females, most will tell you no sooner than 1500g. If you have the experience, you can breed sooner.

My normal male is 535 grams

I would consider him a sub-adult/juvenile. But then again...it's really a matter of preference.
