Im starting out also and I agree with everyone else get females first. try to get a 2 gene female so if you get a different 1 gene male you will be able to end up with 3 gene babies as opposed to a one or two gene that you would have origninally gotten. Or you can also save up while you get your female big enough and end up getting a 2 gene male and try to hit for a 4 gene baby.
