I was asking about this myself a while ago. Tupinambis suggested that weight was more important than age or length (makes sense) and that 2.5 kg was a good target weight for females before breeding. If your female is 6 pounds, then she is already at around 2.7 kg, and so should be big enough.

Cheers,
Mark.
