Both my 1.0 Bananas are May/June 2013 hatches and at 400g+ they are locking with plugs. I had a 2012 Enchi Fire locking at 380g with plugs last season. He's a Pro now.
I've been on bp.net a while and usually breeders say not to breed males until they're at least a year old and 700 grams. Is this not true anymore?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
