Can I breed these two?

[3beardies1cup]

I have a female who is HUGE very healthy and about 18 months old or so and I have a male that is about 12 months old. Can these two be bred?

I think most start breeding their females after they turn 2. And waiting so as not to risk your females health is probably the best idea.

What i was getting at is does the males age matter?

 

[atreyu917]

yes, from what i have read a male can become sexually active as young as 8 months

There is a minimum recommended age with males also I think, something to do with causing damage if he's not fully developed. I'm not sure tho, someone else will hopefully be able to give more info.

The age in the male doesnt really matter. It is basically up to him when he actually mates with a female. You can put him in the cage with her to see if anything happens but if your female is bigger and over powers him then chances are he will not be ready. However I have heard of males breeding as young as 6 months.
