Up to size for breeding

[Godzilla78]

I agree there is no hurry as well I’m just not sure why it’s being said when the OP doesn’t seem to be in a hurry willing to wait almost another full year on a female that’s getting close to being ready. Breeding a healthy 1500g female can give a larger healthier clutch than an overweight 3000g female so it’s not always necessary to wait past a certain weight, it is much more important that the female has a healthy body condition. A year is way more than enough time to put 500 grams on a female and have her perfectly healthy and ready to breed.

I have just noticed a trend that many people try to fatten them up QUICKLY, and breed as EARLY as possible. I would rather let them gain weight normally and get some maturity and age, instead of rushing it. I am a "tortoise and the hare" thinker in this regard.
