also should i leave the male in the enclosue with the females for the whole breeding season or should i let them mate then separate them??

you can do either, leave him in or not. When I find my females arnt getting any eggs I will take the male put for a week or two and then put him in again. It seems to get him "horny" and he goes nuts the second he is back in there.

anu opinions on whether to get prove breeders or ones that havn't been bred yet

Whether to buy proven adults of babies is personal preference I think. Personally, I like to buy new additions as young as I can. That way I am totally aware of thier complete history should I ever have any problems or anything. That and I think it's a little more rewarding to raise something from a baby.

Just my opinion
