1.0 Lesser Platinum @ 280g
0.1 Pinstripe @ 490g
0.1 Spider @ 425g

I have additionally run across another Pin and Spider female set that are hovering at 225g right now. The PAIR is $400 and he's firm. I would only be interested if I could get them up to weight by next fall to breed. I know the price is fair, but I'm only interested if I could get them up to weight for next season.

Would they get to weight in ~16 months??

I also have my 0.1 Butter which is a fat little hatchling at 130g at 2 months old for the 2104 fall, and a 1.0 normal that is eating like a hog, but not gaining any weight?? He's also about 2 months old and only 70g.
At those weights they are most likely 2012 hatchlings. I doubt they would be up to breeding weight by this season. Especially the females. Males, yes it could be done. I would wait until next season at the earliest to breed any 2012 female and then only if she was 1500 grams. Even that is a stretch. Your best bet would be to get the pair, then look for a breedable normal female if you want to breed this upcomming season. You could probably find a nice sized normal girl for around $100.
