small sized female? breeding question?
I thought I'd ask this now for planning later! My only female BP now is over 2 years old (anywhere between 2 years 2 months old~2 years 6 months old, I'm guessing... unfortunately don't have an exact hatch date on her). She's always had an awesome appetite and never missed a meal in her life, but her growth seems to have been really slow/stopped over the last half year, despite eating a lot? She only grows horizontally now LOL and so is pretty chunky. While I feed her still on the same schedule (1 small every 2 weeks) hoping that she will continue growing like an average female size, but I'm not sure that's going to happen.
She is about 1100~1200g now. I know she is similar or very slightly smaller than my males.
I did originally get her in consideration for breeding, but I'm wondering how safe it is exactly. Assuming she maybe maxes out at around 1400g or so by 3 years old? Or is her weight vs age really smaller or am I mistaken?
The last breeding female I had was 2400g when I sold her at 3.5 years old, and the big difference here makes me worry LOL
