hello everyone, this is my first Kynixys spp. pair. The are 13cm (male) and 12cm (female)long and weight 340gr. and 310gr.
Do you thing they are sexual mature or are too young?IMG_2284.JPG IMG_2285.JPG IMG_2288.jpg IMG_2290.JPG IMG_2292.jpg IMG_2284.JPG IMG_2285.JPG IMG_2288.jpg IMG_2290.JPG IMG_2292.jpg

if They were my animals, I’d give them another year of growth before I attempted to breed them. I’m sure the male will mount the female, but her being that small, I’d give her more time to grow before I would have her with the male.

My smallest female that was raised from a hatchling laid her first clutch at double that size. That doesn't mean that the wont lay eggs smaller, but I would get her above 600g before pairing her if she was here. Beautiful pair. I would love to see some close up shots of the face/beaks.
