Breeding male, question!

Hi everyone!

I'm wondering when you think it's ok to pair a male for the first time?
At what size/weight are they able to do a successful pairing?

Whats the smallest male (weight?) you've ever paired and got offspring of..?

Many answers and opinions are appreciated!! :)
 
My specifications to breed is that the male be at or over the roundness of a dime. It must be over one year old and weight for the male is over 100 grams and I like them to be over 2 feet. For the female I like her over 300 grams, at or rounder than a nickel. I like them to or over 3 feet.
 
If I recall properly, a fairly well-known breeder successfully bred a 2 year old, 97 gram male with good fertility rates in 2006. I've personally successfully bred a male that was about 130 grams and 2 years old.

I dont remember exactly, but I have breed 1 and 2 year olds at just over 100 grams. over 150 grams - no problems.
 
In 2006 I bred an 90 something gram male successfully to one female. He was one year old. I think most find very limited success breeding males that young......the exception not the rule. I breed males between a year and two years all the time from 100-150 grams. I agree with Susan that over 150 grams seems to be almost a sure thing. I would also add that another 50 grams and six months of age can make a big difference.

Alright, that's what I thought! :)

I have this male that I want to breed this year. I was planning on breeding him late this year..

He's from july -07 and at 100 grams soon!
He might have the size later on but not the age.. Thats what I'm thinking..
