Can someone give me a timeline on the baby making process? From when you first pair up to the actual hatchings. Thanks in advance.

Anywhere from six months to a year, just depends on the girl. You got at least a couple of months of putting the male and female togeather, about sixty days after the female ovlulates before she lays the eggs, and about fifty or so days before the eggs hatch....

I started matching up boys and girls back in oct, and my first clutch hatched out 4 days ago.

Well, that all depends of course on when the female ovulates but I started pairing back in Oct and Nov. Had my first clutch of het Albino's 2 months ago, another one of Spiders about 6 weeks ago and just pulled 2 more clutches of eggs today from a Pastel male to Normal female and a Pastel to Pastel. Looks like there are still about 3 more clutches on the way. More Pastels and Black pastels on the way soon. They sure do seem to go most of the year but as mentioned earlier its like a 4 month process. Two months of carrying the eggs and 2 month of incubation after they lay.

If you start cooling and breeding in October some girls may drop in February some may drop in September most will drop sometime in between. It all depends on the girls' natural cycles and some environmental factors. Otherwise it's about 51 days from ovulation to laying and another 60 till they hatch.

Good luck!
