I also wouldn't buy them right as the season starts either.. This screams "lets not miss out on this season.. Thats 500 dollars a snake..." Unfortunately it doesn't work like that.

2.) They were properly QT'd together in the same space and were both on food for a couple months.. Buying females and males this time of the year, changing their environments completely and then pairing them would be terrible for the animal and would more than likely not produce you anything anyway.

Now with the honesty out of the way I would say 100% NO. Do you understand the environment that hatchlings have to be kept in and how finicky they can be? I would probably learn how to keep adults and sub-adults before you jump into hatchlings. You will more than likely end up killing them if you were lucky enough to get a clutch.

Facebook messenger for a vet recommendation at the last minute will more than likely be a waste of money as you will get a vet who probably knows as much or less than you do about the animal after keeping them for 3 months. Yes. I know that sounds scary but it's true.

Just curious, how big is the female you are looking to breed?(grams) When was she hatched?
I meant a Facebook message away from finding a vet in that there are a few trustworthy local breeders I can contact and ask for a recommendation. They have been super helpful so far in telling me who to avoid and who they recommend as far as where to get hatchlings.

The female we have is around 1460g. I can’t remember when the breeder said she was hatched but said he paired her up for the first time last year but she didn’t go. I want to say she was a ‘15 hatchling. I’ll have to message him again.
