you dont give the age of your female or weight, best to wait till she is at least 3ft 3 years old and 300g, if she is all of them then there is no reason not to.

if the 'rule of 3' is met (or passed lol) then ask yourself:
have i got the time and money to look after 20+....30+ hatchlings?
can i sell them ie.is there really a market for them?
can i cope with non-feeders? - time, money, experience, other resources?
have i got the time, money, space to keep them till they sell (and that could be months or more rather than weeks)?

last breeding season we decided we didn't have the time to properly care for the resulting hatchies and there certainly isn't the market for them at the moment so we decided not to breed the corns this year.
