Maturity time is based on the individual. Some shorter, and some longer than others. Your male might not reach sexual maturity until he is 16"-18". The male I have is around the same size as yours and his claspers are just starting to roll. So he should be ready soon.

It will happen mate.

My motoro had fully rolled claspers at 8".

I think it comes down to a few factors; age, size, genetics and the presence of a mature female. Impossible to give an exact time frame.
