Tyler,

: Hatchling - 0 - 1
: Yearling - 1 - 2 or better
: Sub Adult - Very tough one. Depends on species
(i.e. I consider my 13 year old sulcata a sub adult. A galapagos would achieve that status at about 25.
: Adult - When does something that lives 100 to 150 years become an adult? I think that is species specific too. I would be willing to say 18 to 21, on the sulcata because of the simple fact that the speculation is they live about 80 years. The Pardalis I'm not sure about the top end speculation on their age, EJ would probably know.

As far as breeding goes, mine are all young. And with the exception of the hatchling and the yearling, I would think them all to be mature enough to breed.

Good question:)

Ciao'

Giovanni
