Sorry Barbie, I should have known what you wanted by your subject. I would
think it would be Ok to breed your pair for at least a few more years but I
don't have enough experience to verify that. Checked my references but
couldn't find anything. I've got some females that will produce eggs
whether you breed them or not. They do often make very nice pets. Most of
mine will come out of their shelters to beg for food and eat from my hands.
Of course I don't actually handle them.
