    Can i do this?

    I will be picking up a mystyc female from the NARBC show in tinley. She is just under 500 grams. Could i get her to breeding size by the end of the year or is that too much weight to gain? Im not in a hurry or anything but if she could be ready i have a male mojave for her.

    I doubt she'd be ready. Most females get a little picky when they hit 700-800grams and I've never had a female breed before they turned 3 and produce eggs.

    That's a lot of weight to gain.

    I kinda thought it was alot of weight. O well at least that will give me time to get a girl ready for my spider. If only i knew what i was getting for him.

    What is the rush?

    can she put on that much weight yes however breeding is not all about weight, I have seen 1 year old female sitting at 1200 grams doesn't mean I would breed a female like that.

    It's a age/size combination.

    There is no rush she will get up to size in her own terms.

    They need to be of age, as well as up to weight...

    No rush at all. Just curious. I want to get 1 or two more females first. And then do ALOT of reading on here before i even try to breed anything.

    I know how you feel. I'm getting my first breeder female next week. A Mystic Pastel born in Nov '12. I'm hoping she'll lock up with my Spider Mojave male, but not until NEXT fall. I'm not trying to rush things. Hopefully she'll be 1400+ grams and ready by then. Never been so excited about something I have to be so patient for.
