When a female is large and fully grown, she cannot be bred with small males as they will be unable to wrap her properly and the eggs might not be fertilised. Large, fully grown males should not be combined with very small females as they could hurt them. But as long as the two partners are not wildly different in size, there is no definite age. When a female no longer eggs up under conditioning and does not produce as many fertile eggs (lower hatch rate) or show interest in males it's probably time to retire her. When males do not show interest in females, do not build good nests or are no longer supple enough to wrap a female properly, it might be best to end their breeding careers as well.
