Hey Andy,



I'm afraid I would disagree with you on one point. I believe an ideal breeder would be in the range of 12-20 pounds. I don't let my females get any bigger than this. There are a couple reasons I believe this. One is that a smaller female is easier to get back up to weight for breeding the next season. You may get less babies each year, but over a period of many years, you can probably get more babies out of the smaller female. I also think smaller females have an easier time thermoregulating. This is just my opinion, but I truly believe it.



Matt
