I just wanted to clarify a bit, as you claim to be new to the board, and to the hobby from what I can gather. If you breed your male to 2 females, or even three, you are not going to get 50 eggs. Matter of fact, you stand a chance of getting no eggs. I just didn't want to see someone counting the eggs before they hatch (I know it is proverbial and a bit trite), but I just wanted to give you a heads up.

In reality, you will probably end up with two of three females laying eggs (based on average odds of many breeders), and about 6 eggs per clutch (again, based on average clutch sizes). Therefore, my guess would be that you would get between 11 and 14 eggs your first season.

I hope that helps, and I meant no offense if you already understand all of that,
