thanks Devon ,, I get him a female very soon

I wouldn't recommend getting him a female now . Once they start to mature or if they have been solo for any amount of time pairing becomes very unlikely. He looks much too old and has probably been solo for too long to pair up now . If you ad a female it'll probably be a death match.

To pair them get 5-6 young ones together and let them grow together, a pair will form and kill off the rest.

ok , it's been a month now he is solo , 10 inches in size , plzz tell me it's really too late to pair him
