Check out the breeding reports. Some people (including myself) got them to breed after getting juveniles from other breeders, so we knew the age. In my case, I got my juvies from Rob McLure. Mine started breeding at about 11 months old. If you look at the other breeding reports, maybe you'll see other ages from additional breeders.

Cheers, Eric
