If the female eats really well I'll start breeding her at 1300-1400 grams and when they start their feeding frenzy they top 1500+ grams before they start building follicles.
If the female isn't the greatest eater I prefer to wait till they hit 1500 grams+
The size of the snake does not always correlate to larger clutches.
I have a 2500 gram girl that dropped 7 eggs and a 1500 gram girl that has 7 eggs.
I do prefer to breed the larger girls though, they just seem to do better and recover better after dropping eggs.
I would pick up a large normal or two and learn the whole breeding process with something not so expensive.
There's certainly nothing wrong with whole clutches of pastels
