ready to breed ?

[unknown91]

might be a silly question, but now that i'm 99% sure i have female, how can i know when she's ready to breed, to meet a nice 'prince charming' ?

The best advice I can give is BE PATIENT!! You do not want to jump into breeding too quickly, for your sake and hers. If you just found out that she is female, then I would guess that she is only a few months old? You need to wait until she is at least a year and weighs NO LESS than 60g. Her weight is really the most important thing when breeding. If she is not big enough, or healthy enough, she may not be able to pass the eggs. Starting with a healthy, mature female is the first step to successful breeding.

i know that the size is the most important thing.
she is almost 5 months, but she's kinda big and fat
and i think she weighs more than 60g.
just asking, not jumping into anything yet, wanted to be prepared, just in case.
so i will think about it when she's 1 year old, maybe later.

Can you post a photo of her?

i've posted these (they are like 3-4 days old) on health section asking if she's too fat or gravid, and the most replies i got were that she's gravid, but no signs of that, so it's just the position of the belly and the fact that she rests her belly on her feet in some of the pics could be misleading.

edit : couldn't post the pics again, so :
