So here it is, i want to explain my situation with all my balls since i plan on breeding next season, and yes this will be my first breeding season. And since i have been searching this forum for all advice, i will continue to do so for this since everyone has been a big help with everything.

I recently went out and bought a scale from staples to start keeping track of my weights and feeding schedule for my 2 pastels. Last feb i bought a female pastel from a breeder here in NC. She eats like a mammoth, and is at a nice wait for only being a year and 3 months old. She is currently 1,228 grams. I have never over fed her or power fed her. She received 1 mouse when i first got her, then proceeded to a couple mice a week, then i jumped her to 1 small rat per week. So i'm pretty sure by the time next season rolls around she will be good and ready with weight.

Now for the male pastel that i recently received from heather at heathersherps. I weighed him today as well, and he is at 128 gram, just a baby. He hatched out last sept i believe, but i may need to go back and check the date. He started on one fuzzy when i first received him in november. Now he is on 1 hopper per week.

I keep both balls in tanks. Temps are good and humidity is great, especially when sheds come around. They have not had one bad shed.

I am basically asking you all if everything is on track and sounds good to you guys?

Thanks for any advice and/or criticism.
