Thoguht it might be interesting.

Kelf how is your girl after her first breeding?
Forgive me for sounding a plum but i thought the bare minimum weight is said to be 1500g?

And how many eggs did she have?

Most people do consider 1500g to be the bare minimum, I was inpatient didn't think 200g would make a huge difference since it's less than the weight of her food - after he first season she was fine, started feeding again like never before (She was a fussy feeder before her first clutch) and her weight shot back on in no time (as you can see) she had 5 eggs on her first season although 1 slugged out after a few days.

This is her second season (in a row) and she was about 1600g when I started pairing her this time around, she's laid 7 massive and very very fertile eggs this time around, again she looks like she's pounding down rats again just fine :)
