    One way around that might be to contact the science department of the college you're going to and see if you can host your collection there. Not a guarantee, but sometimes they're cool with it. Most places don't allow pets in dorms though, and there's especially not room for a breeding populations, so you need to have a back up plan in place for if/when it happens.

    You do have a pretty nice fire iirc though! One thing I advocate, since the market is really flooded, and EVERYONE wants to "try breeding" absolutely make set goals, and be picky! Be patient, and find the best examples of morphs that you want to breed, plan out what you want to produce, and be ready to spend a little extra for quality. Jumping in blind and feet first is a good way to really screw up being able to do this long term.

    Also, did you find out if Marshall was a guy or a girl? For a breeding start up, you generally want to have more females than males, because one male can be spread around, but one female paired with a bunch of males is going to be a grab bag as far are babies produced goes. Females can and will use sperm from any, or all, or NONE of the males they're paired with for the year, so unless you're really good at morph identification, it would be better as a noob to stick with one for sure clutch daddy, and a couple different females for him to play around with. Another rule of thumb is that your males should be the mutigene animals. Same reason for having more females than males, it's economically more efficient to have one male with lots of genes to spread around you set up than one female multigene morph who will only throw one clutch that season.

    These are of course, just guidelines and you should do what works best for you. The most important thing is what you're getting out of it is enjoyment and time spent with amazing animals!
