I had Morgan Weiss from home grown scales and Brian from bhb reptiles they both were a great help and answered all my answers promptly. I can't stress enough, do your research, they are quite a few methods and they all work... Choose what works best for you.

There's also a breeding thread which is a sticky I think.
