At one year the male should be good to go, as long as he's been eating well. Should be over 500 grams at that age. With the females it depends. I usually like to wait until my females are 2.5-3 years and 1500+ grams. Even then, some won't give you eggs until they are bigger/more mature.
Oddly, none of my males showed any interest in breeding until they hit 1000+ grams. Not sure why, as others have bred males much smaller. I've never bred a girl under 1300g, but none of my girls have been hesitant to lock up. Most of them waited until they were 3+ years to ovulate though.
