I'd recommend waiting at least a year, since you've just decided to begin breeding. Do as much research as you can within that time. You wouldn't want to begin breeding and realize there's a lot you are missing. It would be best to get an incubator asap, and all the correct housing and materials right now ..just so you're sure that when you begin breeding you have EVERYTHING ready and waitingJust my opinion. Big difference between breeding and keeping as pets! I plan on waiting at least another few years before I attempt to breed for the first time.
