When are Males ready to breed?

I always hear at what age a female is ready to breed but what about the males? Do they have to be at a certain weight?

Country:
Age is a partial factor in the reproductive status of leos. I have had females at 6+ months begin producing eggs without introduction to males (obviuosly), so long as they are healthy and well cared for they mature rather quickly. They key to breeding any animal is their health. I would say that most of my males have been 9 months+. I do not for by weight either, since each gecko is built differently (ie.longer, shorter, wider, thinner)

Ours have been ready to go as small as 35-40grams, with sucessful breeding.

Dan Uremovic had a male that was succesfully breeding at 4 months old. It really depends on the gecko but I would say the average is 10 months.
