Default R.leachianus henkeli breeding

What is proper age for breeding R.leachianus henkeli (Pine Island). I have a almost 3 years old female and a 1,5 years old male. Is it possible to pair them in august-september next year..?

WOW, it's like deja-vu all over again. I just posted this same thing in another thread.

The female should be good to go, as long as she's a normal weight for that age. The male should be fine by next fall.

I think common opinion on henkeli is 2.5 years or so, though some have gotten eggs around two. It's not recommended across the board, and can result in damage to the female if she's too young. But your younger one is the male, so it's not as important that he be older since he's not the one carrying the eggs.

Thanks, I also think that the male will be ready. But the female is under 100 g, so she still must gain some weight. I hope that till July next year she will be above 120 g. She never was a good eater, now I must power up her feeding.

That's pretty light for the age and locale. Did you just get her? If you did, she should really pack it on quick.
