This. I did this exact thing last summer and the female was able to breed for me and produce an awesome 8 egg clutch. The qt time will allow her to settle in and bulk up.

About breeding year around, I have had a chat about that with an friend of mine and he tried it with a couple of females and he says he can't get them to breed with out cooling, so I am not sure if that would be the way to go for me

In my experience adults takes longer to get acclimated to new environments. Over the years when I received adult females for loan, 50% of them would not go that season, they would immediately upon arrival stop eating and while they were had a breedable weight they did not have the feel I was looking for.

Those female would go the following season.

Same goes when I moved I experienced the worst breeding season following the move to a new house.

So I might be better of buying a younger female for less money or a younger female with 3 gene for the same money as to buying that proven female?

Now you're getting the idea. :)

ok thanks everyone!!

1 more question though he is asking only 150 euro's that's about 165 dollar would that have been a good price for a proven female Bumblebee, she laid a 7 egg, 8 egg and another 7 egg clutch in the past

Lots of blah,blah,blah. The only one that will let you know if any snake will be ready,is the snake itself.;) All you are getting are guesses.
