Festae question...

What is the minimum size for sexual maturity and breeding?

Thanks in advance.

Females around 3.5" and 4" and males at 5" and 6" seems to be the typical size that they start pairing off. That's about a year from birth give or take a couple of months.

Thanks for the info.

around 5" is when they "can" breed but more than likely youll have to wait longer than that

I have never had a female breed under 6 inches. I have seen them pair up sooner however.

THEY WILL BREED AT 4" IF CONDITIONED RIGHT.

 

[roadrunner]

They will breed at two inches if you put the right music on.

As stated above, technically they can around 4-5". Whether they will or not is another thing....usually involves some waiting....
