Awesome to see... How old / big does the retic get before mature enough to breed?

Thank you!

My male is about 2 years old and is a slow grower. He is about 5 inches in diameter. My female is about 3 years old and is about 9 inches in diameter. I keep 2 females in with my male. Keeps down on my males aggression during mating. Unfortunately he only seems to be interested in the one female.

This will be her second litter. The first she only had 1 pup, but it was healthy and I sold it and he is doing great! I was told that was normal for the first litter. I am hoping for more this litter though. I have a waiting list for the pups!! lol :)

Interesting, I always thought people struggled with breeding retic.

That pup must have been tiny is she's only 9inch.

I've got a. Retic female about 6 inch so good to know she may breed in future!
