Hey guys

Sorry Ive been full of questions lately. Ive just had to do a bunch of planning and keep running into the same issues.

So this is a two part question. 1) For a 2011 hatchling- I have a female who is already at almost ~600 grams now, and might possibly be ~1500 grams by next winter, but I dont really want to breed her next winter. I want to wait until her third winter (so she would be about two years old and a bit, hatched July 2011 I believe) until she is way bigger like closer to 2000 grams. So question 1: is there any downside to making them bigger and waiting longer before pairing? I know with males, they tend to get a bit lethargic and lazy when they are too fat.

And 2) I have an undersized 3 year old female normal that was kind of a rescue. I never had intentions of her breeding at first, but when she started putting on size fast, I changed my mind. She was 30 inches long and 550 grams when I first got her, super small, but now shes pushing 38 inches and sits easily just over 1000 grams. My question is: since she was raised poorly for her first 3 years and was underfed etc, is it still safe to try and breed her? And as well, does anyone have any experience with past undersized rescues? I really want to see if its still possible for her to become at least a 1500-2000 gram female, but of course, I regard her safety as my #1 priority.
