.....thats a good question....
Just a couple of pics of my motoro pair. The male is the dark one and the female is the lighter one. They are about 12" across. Think they are still to small to breed? Really wanna get some baby motoros:) Any thoughts on this?

By looking at the size of the males claspers Im 99.9% sure he is mature enough. The famle on the other hand Im not sure anyone can tell...

Any ize of breeding behavior? Whats their age?
 
very nice....
 
you will be happy with the results.
 
The male is definately ready. The female will probably need to get a little bigger, but 12" is possible. I would say a wider tank might be needed, but Brent bred Leo's in a 24" wide tank, so you are probably fine. I also agree with Joe. Feed lots of earthworms, they will grow very fast.

read somewhere they help stimulate the female along with water temperature. Seems to work with mine and they are on their second set of pups....soon.
