Seeing as you just have the one "maybe" female, I wouldn't put her with a male until she was adult. For a Cherryhead that would be between 9 and 10 inches. For a Nothern Redfoot that would be between 10 and 12 inches.
Should be able to be positive around the 6 inch mark, but it's possible to give a go at a smaller size than that.
