for me- step one finding a good female to breed with my normal(when he is of age) by time the female and male is ready that'll be a year or so from now and by then im sure i wont have to ask all these stupid questions.

Just a quick FYI, unless you purchase a female that is an adult and already ready to breed or close to it, you will not be breeding a year from now.

Let's say you do your research and you purchase this female 6 months from now. She will need to be quarantined for a minimum of 90 days prior to introduction with your male. So, if you purchase a female hatchling 6 months from now, and add 3 months for QT and another 3 months to make the time frame be one year from now, you still only have a 7 month old or so female. Purchase an adult and after the 3 month QT she may be settled enough to breed, but maybe not. Shipping and a new environment is stressful and not all females will go for you right away or even in the first year that they are in your possession if they are not comfortable and ready. Just something to keep in mind.
