Most people will tell you to wait till a year to breed your female.
Especially if she seems small for her age.
Sounds like you got some waiting to do... Jmo

I was curious about the same thing, thanks for asking this, so I'd love to hear some reports on other people's female's weights at around 9 months and one year or more.
We know not to breed them until at least a year and until they're of sufficient size, I think the point is that we're (or at least I am) new to the size of female panthers. They looked bigger in the pictures! Maybe they're always feisty. Lol. Just now that I have her here, i know she still has a few months to go, but she just seems small compared to her big ole boyfriend.
Other question is, I've heard before that some locales are just generally larger than others (I know my mitsio is quite a lot larger than my faly) so, does the locale size thing apply to the females as well?

I took my female to the vet at a year old, and the vet said that an adult female should weigh between 90-100g. He also recommended that no breeding occur until they reach the adult age (1 year) and adult weight. I also strongly recommend this! I had a friend breed his female that I gave him at about 8 months old. She died after she laid her clutch of eggs. While she appeared perfectly healthy and of a good weight, the stress of breeding was too much for her, and she died. Poor little Mirage 
So wait about a year, and weigh her in at a whopping 90-100g! Hope this helps!

P.S. just saw that you said panther female. This was info for my veiled female, but I know that the two are very similar in means of care. I always recommend to everyone, though, wait a year. That is how long it typically takes for girls to grow up
