Feeding question :)

Hey, how fast do these guys usually grow? I read it takes about two years for them to fully mature.

1 yr for the males..... if you don't brumate them......

According to literature, 1 year in the wild, which presumably includes brumation. I've also heard people say that it depends more on their size than their age and that males (certain species, certain areas) are capable of mating immediately in their first spring.

Which seems kind of odd, since their first spring comes less than a year after they are born and since they are born about three or four months after mating season.
