Glad this all helps. Discussions like this are a great way to learn. Keep doing your research before you decide to jump into breeding. Theres an awfully lot more to it than just putting a male and female together and a lot of expense. Glad that you choose to take the ethical route. You'll be a better breeder for it. And if you ever choose to take on that long term breeding project, and wait the 9 + years to establish the line correctly, it will hold it's own rewards.
Of course I am doing my research :wink: I am figuring out everything 3 years in advance hahaha. And my OCD self is even making financial plans and charts and calendars and blah blah blah to make sure I can swing this and hopefully break even for the first few clutches. hehe. Thanks for the luck!!!
