I am a soon to be first time breeder, the female i will be breeding is 1800g, and over 4foot. I intend to feed her at least twice more before i breed her. She is always lively and looks bright and healthy, but i know female BP's tend to loose a lot weight with breeding and i wont risk her health.
1) What would be a good weight for a 4foot female to breed at?
2) How much weight should i expect her to loose? (like if she is 2000g before breeding will she be 1600g after)
3) After the baby BP's hatch, absorb the yoke and come completely out of their egg, should i keep them in the tub (and incubator) until they shed?
4) After the babies shed should i rinse them with room-temperature water, and separate them?

Thanks in advanced.
