 Getting to breed and other things

Hi all. I just became a member of this forum so I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself and maybe get some feedback on a few things, so here it goes.
I have 2 female RTB both about 2 yrs old, I have recently decided to breed and begun to do some research on the subject. I am waiting for a book on the care and breeding of RTB. However, the first thing I learned was that I cannot breed 2 females (LOL ) so I am looking to sale one of my females, or am even willing to swap my female for a male of breeding age. Aphrodite is about 2 yrs old she is about 3 feet long and beautiful she is smaller than my other girl because she got out of her habitat and was gone for about 3 months. She is a little shy. She does not like to be stared at by my cats so I have her in an area where she can’t be stared at. She eats live large rats bu has also eaten frozen thawed.
Now for some rather stupid questions but I don’t mind being laughed with (or at). I know the book I ordered will answer quite a few of the questions I ask but I feel the info I have the better informed I am.
1. Is there a RTB mating season?
2. How can you tell if she is pregnant?
3. Is the first time the babies eat really a week after birth?
4. How can you tell if the RB is ovulating?
5. Should the babies be fed live or frozen thawed?
Any and all info Will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Shawn
