Nephrurus asper breeding age

[timp]

At what age are N. asper (or other rough knob tails) able to breed and at what age would people recommend that they are first bred? There seems to be conflicting information out there with some people say thay take 2-3 years to mature and others claiming that pairs just over 12 months have bred.

Regards,

Tim

i have bred amyae at 18 months with no problems. They were fully grown and nicely filled in. wheeleri can go safely at a year. i cannot tell you about the asper as i do not truly know, i have not had the priviledge of their company; yet! I think it is a good rule of thumb to wait until the animal has finished growing in length and girth, if you don't you are risking some issues.
