Males that are 1 year old should be ready to breed and he looks pretty good. Will you be breeding him to some females from the guy you bought him from? Will you be splitting the clutch if you do?

Pastels are great for starter just know that you will definitely want to consider getting something like a spider or pinstripe or both (or anything for that matter) to breed to any pastel offspring you produce. You could create bumblebees and lemonblasts which are pretty cool and of course hold back 1 or 2 and then add some more for later breeding projects. Before you know it your collection is gonna be huge.... sorry kinda rambling there... anyway good luck with you lady getting some healthy offspring when you breed her.
