Here is my little group now ranging from 4 inches up to about 6.5 inches.
I have 2 males and 4 females and I was told that some of them are sri lankan but from what ive gathered the only true test is when they outgrow everyone else?
Also what is the average breeding size and age for stars? The info is all over the place and the breeders ive spoken to say alot smaller than the books I have?

My female Indian star laid her first clutch at about seven years old. My Sri Lankan star started nesting summer of 2012. I do not know her age, I have had her since 2009. She suffered from MBD growing up and is relatively deformed.
I think it is matter of size more than age regarding reproduction. I would guess your largest females are two to three years away from being reproductive.
