What would you guys do?

OK, so what would you guys do? I have a chance to pick up a mature normal female approx 4 or 5yrs. old and coming in at 2270 g. for 60 bucks. My problem is that my space and collection is limited and I currently have one normal female, a pastel female who will go next year, and my 4 month old albino girl. So do I need another normal female. If I pick her up I plan on putting her with my mojo boy and see what happens. Or do you guys think that Its too late in the season to even try and breed her. Evidently she is a typical pet turn in. She is in decent weight and condition and took a stunned rat. I know this shop owner for years and I have no reason not to believe him. Oh and she does have an excellent temperment and easy to handle.
Thanks,
Mike Kelly

It really depends on what your goals are. If you want to make more Mojaves then I would do it. Can you handle 3-4 clutches next year? Have you had a clutch before? If not it would be good practice and you might get some great babies out of it. Make sure you look at her and see if they would make a good match. Good luck

Unless you are practicing your incubation technique, I would wait. I am going to assume you would quarantine this female anyways....Save your money and buy a nice Pastel female.

I'm gonna say get her. After your quarantine period is up it will be after season. The thing is she is huge and should produce a good amount of eggs for you. Go for it man. Figure how big she will be next season. Should be a good size clutch

I would pick her up. I never pass up good deals on breeding sized females. You never know when you might run across a hot male of some morph or another and you will find yourself looking frantically for a female for him and you wouldve had the chance to had one waiting for him if you got this one. I would get her.

Its not like me with burms. I have to pass a lot of good deals on burms because I don't have the room. With balls you can put a few dozen of them in a coat closet. LOL.
