Ready to breed?

Do you think this female is ready to breed? She was born around last September. My scale that I have... I don't think is too acurate, but it says she ways 50grams, but without taking that into consideration, do you think she'd be ready? Or is it too early?

imo opinion she is. If she is 50 g, whether to consider or not, she is 10 grams over the suggested. And from what i can see, next to that ruler she looks to be like 6 inches? Shes also nice a plump and thats always something to make sure before breeding.

Country:
Regarless of weight, if she was hatched in September, I'd consider her too young. She might be the right weight, but not old enough. At that age, it's still possible for her to grow more, and her body organs (particularly reproductive organs) might not be matured enough yet. Even if she does lay eggs if mated, it's not necessarily good for her. First time breeders have enough problems without factoring in problems from breeding too young.
Just my opnion, nothing more. I'd wait until the next breeding season. It's safer for her, you won't be losing her to a 'teenage pregnancy'.
