i spoke to a couple breeders about egg binding and the general response was that small females have the same risk as large females so its not small size that will cause egg binding although it may be a factor in some cases. i was also told that if a female is too small or too young then she just wont produce eggs or if she does then they'll be small eggs in small clutches. what do you guys think?

this is my first year breeding and all my females are at least 1100g+. my smallest breeding female is now 1200g and just over a year old. she eats like crazy and is not even close to skinny. i was going to wait until next year but got a few opinions and decided to try her out. she locks up like crazy but ill have to wait to she if shes mature enough to produce eggs. im hoping for super pastels...!
