All depends on your budget. You will likely pay twice as much for an adult Mojave than a Pin. You could buy a 0.1 Pin and a 0.1 Mojave in the 700g- 800g range for close to the same as a breeder Mojave girl and have both up to size with no problem by fall.
I understand and would not think of buying from anyone but a reputable breeder. However, from what I've seen online, the price difference between a breeder Mohave female and a breeder Pinstripe female is negligible?
I very much want to breed this coming season (one clutch only) but I also want to be sure the female is healthy and ready too breed.
