We are breeding Cyd and Cornelius this year, but are unsure when is best to pair them?
Most things I've read say put them together after the first shed after the female has been warmed up from brumation, but when Cyd last shed we decided it was too early. We didn't feel she had been fed up enough to be ready for breeding.
Now- do we wait for the next shed, which might be months away or do we just pair them whenever we feel she's ready? She's eating well, but still think a bit more weight might be advisable before Cornelius gets to have his wicked way
they usually shed a few weeks after starting feeding again after brumation, then ovulate soon after. they're not like humans where the timing has to be exact to conceive so waiting a few weeks to build her up a bit more shouldn't prevent breeding success what does she weigh at the moment?
