I've heard stories of 400 gram breedable males, especially spiders or spider related morphs...but most start at 500 grams and my male yellowbelly didn't like the ladies until he was 700 grams.

yeah they can it just depends on how fast they mature and if they are intimidated by the larger female. I have seen one of my small males around that size lock with my 3500+ gram female. I just try if they have plugs and see what happens.

My lesser was breeding at 500 grams when he started. I remember seeing pictures of a 375 gram male breeding. With males weight really doesn't matter much as far as capability. If he's producing sperm plugs, he's physically ready. Now if he will do the deed or not is another question. Also something that normally gets brought up is, if a male is that small and stops eating his there a concern for his health? Everyone seems to have their own opinion on that.

I heard stories of young/small males breeding, but then again if he goes off food, and
he doesnt get the deed done, it worthless..(right)

So now your dealing with a smaller male at the next breeding year..

.......Its like playing the lottery...lol

Thanks

This year, My lesser male started breeding at 350 grams. He locked with my graziani cinnamon female 8 times, and she is now in the later stages of building. He has since turned on the feeding frenzy, and is now around 450-500gs though.

My 350g male pastel butter loves the girls and as long as he keeps eating, he keeps getting to see them.
