She was initially given to him by a friend that had a very bad set up, it was much colder in there than it should've been (no heater, just a lamp) I'm not sure how much the cage was cleaned, and had probably gone long stretches without food. She is in pretty good shape now, eating and everything. I'm just curious how this could affect breeding. He is now looking at just giving her away to a local reptile store, otherwise I can have it. What do you think?
Since you know she was not properly cared for or properly fed ,i would let him give her to the pet store.The reason i say this is simple.By her not being cared for and fed properly she could be stunted(unable to reach proper size) or even unable to breed all together.Of course its your choice,and this is my opinion if i was in that situation.
