The female has bred 3 years in a row. Every year she has been paired with males starting in November. Every year she has been paired with the males until she obviously had eggs in her. Every year she has laid her eggs in June.
What starts this females breeding cycle? What is it that makes her body start to go into reproduction mode? Does it naturally happen the same time in the 4th year because of the cycle she has been on the last three years? Is it the introduction of a male? Is it temperature drops? Is it seasonal changes?
What If I want to delay her breeding by 5 months this year and not start introducing the male until April? What would it take to do it? Would it work? Or would she likely miss the season completely?
