ive heard alot of size vs age on bearded dragons. What would be the minimum size to breed a girl? in length and weight and also age.

18 inches and 300 grams is the accepted size for breedable females though you want to make sure that their age is compatable with breeding as the chances of egg binding and infertile clutches in younger females is much higher than in appropriately aged ones. I took in a 12 month old female that was adult size and was bred. She laid 1 clutch and of that clutch only 1 egg was fertile. This was due to her being to young to successfully breed. No reason to breed them so early you can breed a female up to her 6th or 7th year.

I like the 350-400 gram range, and at least a year old, then brumated for 3 months.
