    You can breed anything you can find to him and make so nice offspring. bumble bee, spinner, lemon blast, pastave, pewter, pretty much any double co/dom female and you will love the results. It all comes down to what you can afford

    1500 grams is the minimum weight for a female for breeding. the rule of thumb that I have always been told is the female's 3rd winter (so if they were born spring of this year 2011, they will be ready to breed their 3rd winter, which would be winter of 2013). I have also been told the larger the female, the more quantity and quality of eggs you will have (ie: breeding a 1500g female may not give you the best clutch compared to a 2000g female)

    If your male is breeding size and you don't want to wait until next year you could always pick up a nice breeding size female for around $100 bucks, you are guaranteed a clutch of pastels Or....depending on how much you have to spend, there are nice close-to-breeding size female morphs around 800-1200grams in the $500-700 range that you could get.

    As other's have said, any codmon female you get will produce gorgeous babies with your Super...regardless of what she is. Your possibilities are endless--you just have to decide what you like. You already have a Spider waiting in the wings, so maybe look for a nice Pinstripe female, or even a Pastel female would give you a shot at some baby Supers!!

    Good luck!

    If the female eats really well I'll start breeding her at 1300-1400 grams and when they start their feeding frenzy they top 1500+ grams before they start building follicles.
    If the female isn't the greatest eater I prefer to wait till they hit 1500 grams+

    The size of the snake does not always correlate to larger clutches.
    I have a 2500 gram girl that dropped 7 eggs and a 1500 gram girl that has 7 eggs.
    I do prefer to breed the larger girls though, they just seem to do better and recover better after dropping eggs.

    I would pick up a large normal or two and learn the whole breeding process with something not so expensive.
    There's certainly nothing wrong with whole clutches of pastels
