breeding question...

crazytank84 Dec 28, 2003 07:32 PM

I just got my female today she is beautiful, yes she is only a normal but looks great, I know I can't breed her this year but I wanted to know if it is an issue that she is smaller than my male. no biggie just wondering.

How much does she weigh? Usually a breeding-age/size female bp will be bigger than the majority of males. There are plenty of exceptions to the rule, however, as many here could attest to.

my male is about 3 lbs and my female that I just picked up is about 1 1/2 or 2lbs I have had the male for 10 years now.
I don't think thta will affect anything I just thought I mihgt get into breeding them just to see how it works out for me if I like it I mihgt pick up a few morphs.

the female should be about 1500 grams. id say wait till its another lb heavier.
