I didn't mean they would be ready in a year, I just meant that after a year I would buy a male that would likely be a hatchling that way by 18mo. - 24mo. hopefully the male and 3 females would be ready.

No I don't mind extending the plans gives me lots of time to build a good size rack, and also to learn more about genetics for following projects (this is my first one) and with hope most of the hatchlings will fund another project or two. But, like I said in the quote after all they'll still be pets until they're ready to breed.

Guess I didn't mention I started looking at normals as a pet and then ran into a page about breeding and got interested. Thanks for all the info and helpful answers you've given me though!
