i have been keeping reptiles for about 10 years now everything from garters to retics and i already read ALOT and have done my research i have baby racks and my male and female are already locking up! i have an incubator and i know that female is supposed to be at least in the 1300 gram area males can breed after the first year. This is just a venture i have chosen to take and personally i do not see the need to research for years if proper research and great care is taken i was simply asking if anyone had any "tips" they could share as in unique experiences they could share not any base facts that is on my part to look up and that is the whole fun of it but its nice to see passion around here i am not breeding these animals for money thinking i will get rich lol i hope no one would in this day in age lol might sell a few to my local pet shop but that's about it this is just a project i have been looking foward to
