E. Agricolae breeding question

[mikew1234]

I was finally able to find a female e. agricolae, which I purchased on June 7th. She is a proven breeder for the previous owner, so I have no question regarding her. My question involves the male which has been in my care since March. They're both in 12x12x18s directly next to eachother. My question is simply at what size does a male Agricolae become sexually mature? I only ask this because he is substantially smaller than her. Pics of her and another leachie addition will come later or tomorrow.

Congrats on your new addition!
Males are way smaller than females. Adult females average SVL 48-54mm 10-12 grams & adult males average 44-48mm 4-7 grams.

Hannibal's right, males are like 1/2 the size.

Definitely following this discussion. I remember reading about the significant size difference, but can't remember weights either. Was it 5g for males and 7-8g for females? Planning on asking Dunlop when he gets back from his trip.

My pair now sits at 5 grams with the male, and just under 11 for the female. The breeder I got her from did have a male and 3 females in the same enclosure though, so there is a chance that is some egg weight. I was just surprised as to the overall body size difference.
