Well Usually you go by the "3 Rule"

3 Feet In Length, 3 Years Old and 300 Grams minimum weight.

i Would wait until next year, just because the female is only 2 years old. You could probably get away it, but it would be a big ordeal on the female.

Three rule is far too small for Hondurans, it is best not to breed before 3 years but by then a female should be about 1000 grams and well over 4 feet long.
