Hey Dan,

When you say its almost three years old, I assume it was born in summer/fall of 2006? If so, then its about 2 1/2 years old now? It may be better to wait until the summer of 2011, although she may ovluate in 2010, who knows?

I've got a pair of 05's that are 4 1/2 feet and I'm not going to breed them in 2009 even if the female ovulates.

To each his own, but I prefer not to push a female into breeding before she's big enough to get a big clutch of big babies. A young female is more likely to drop a smaller clutch and loose out on a couple months of growth.

Good luck whatever you decide!

Dave
