At least 36 inch, before first brumating and breeding the next spring.

30-ish months.

300 grams or so.

Length isn't as important as body size.

Keep in mind, those aren't written stone, some breed younger(as young as 18 months) or smaller(250 grams), those are just what I'd do.

when someone gives length only as an indicator beware, a skinny 40 inch is not good to breed, a healthy 34 inch may be. Weight is a good indicator IF combined with age, 18month 300 gram I may breed, a 4yo 60inch 300 gram animal needs a vet not breeding lol.

When i give lenght as indicator, i suppose it's a healthy fat 36 inch. You should combine weight, lenght and age.
