what age do male tegus sexually mature at?

I'm just wondering what age male tegus begin breeding. I know females it's approx 3 years until sexually mature but what about the boys? I know in boas the males mature much earlier than the females, but what about tegus?

I know of some yearlings that have not been hibernated and are producing sperm plugs already. Theoretically they would be ready to breed but no one I know has attempted it or has been successful. Maturity in males is the same as the females otherwise; 3 years.

so most people would reccomend 3 years old then? thanks again puff!
