I wouldn't bank on that male being ready in a handful of months. I have several 2010 snakes that have put on his entire weight in a few months! I would worry about getting him consistantly eating before you worry about breeding. What are you going to do when an already small inconsistant eater goes off feed to breed? Sometimes you can lose a small male trying to breed too early. He might produce plugs but you should seriously consider if breeding him is a wise choice if you care about the snake at all. Just my $.02...
