Question about breeding

I'm just looking into breeding diamonds. I have a male diamond who is 2 years old 1.5m long. I understand that he will need at least another year or 2 to be ready to breed but I was looking at getting a female. I have found one that is currently 4.5 years old. Would the fact that the female is older make a difference when the time come to breed?

No, no difference except that you'll probably end up with more eggs than if you were to use a younger female. Your male would probably breed next year at 3 years, he might even give it a crack this season if given the chance.

By the time you quarrentine her for 12 months he should be fine for next season.
