Some say size is more of an indication of breeding possiblities and I tend to agree from my experiences with skinks.

I always wait at least two years and usually attempt breeding at the third year of any skink I raise. I don't have any rush to produce more of these guys - *shrug*

I would wait another year as a skink breeding within a year is quite uncommon due to timing, age, size and time lost from prep before and after brumation.

Good luck,

Andrew
