GTPs

GTPs are not difficult provided your juveniles come from a good stock with sound reproductive history. The questions I would be asking the breeder are:
How many clutches the female had in the past and how many eggs in the last clutch?
How many good eggs, how many infertile and how many slugs?
What was the hatching rate and neonate survival up to 6 months of age?
Any deformed neonates in the clutch?
The answers not only determine the fitness of the juveniles but it also indicates their future breeding potential. Don't forget - poor reproductive potential is hereditary. If a breeder is not able / willing to provide this information or you don't trust the integrity of the information given to you - walk away!
