Thank you. Appreciate the info.Originally Posted by Deborah
Your budget will allow you to get 2 single gene females or more that are breeding size and even proven breeder, Mojave, lesser, pastel, spider, pinstripe, enchi, cinny, black pastel, yellow belly etc are all within reach, I would probably pick 2 and keep the rest of the money for a 3 genes male.
Once you get the female get them used to their new environment and feed them right for several months so they are ready for next breeding season, with what left of the money pick up a 2014 male get the most gene you can afford and raise him up to size.
Now as far as timeline no one can answer that as there is no timeline to start with between pairing and ovulation, for example you can start pairing in October and have eggs in February just like you can have them the following September even worse the female might not go and the following season she will lay egg in July because of sperm retention.
The only timeline you can count on is from ovulation to hatching.
Once the female ovulates she will have a pre-lay shed and after that she will lay eggs the whole process from ovy to eggs will take on average 45 days now I have had females going way over that as well.
Once you have your eggs count another 55 to 60 days or more before they hatch depending on your temps.
