I am interested in eventually breeding my Darwin (bit early I know since I don't have a male...) but I was curious as to what age you would start to breed. My girl is 2 years old, 4.5 foot long, 2 inches at her thickest. So would she be ready to breed in the upcoming season or would it be healthier to leave her for the follow one?
Either way I think I will be waiting for the 2006 breeding season  |

| | Sponsor | Join Date: May-04 Location: Melbourne | | | The table does not say how successful the breeding will be, or clutch sizes
etc.
Brian tells me of a scrubby he had that was of breeding size and produced a viable clutch even though when the eggs came out they were on the thin side having come from such a small female.
If you ever get a chance to read Rick Shine's book it is a great read on this kind of stuff. Quote: |
