Going to start breeding feeders need advice
Hello I want to breed feeder because in my area it's expensive, and the place that sells live they look sickly and gross. So I'm going to build two five tub racks and starting with two males and six females. Could I get some tips and advice
Re: Going to start breeding feeders need advice
Another person told me to have one male to three females in one tub. I'll be breeding for my two and my friend is going to buy any I don't need I'm also going to build a co2 chamber

I would make sure that you put the female in rotation at 2 weeks interval so the male is never alone and I would not recommend to keep 1.3 together at all time, first because 1.3 plus babies would be overcrowded very fast, second because back to back breeding (female becoming pregnant while nursing) will take it's toll on the females very fast the litters will be smaller so will the babies.

So will ten tub rack be ok to start or is that not enough
Re: Going to start breeding feeders need advice
6 tubs will be enough
2 breeding tubs with one male each.
First week you put 2 females in, one for each male, 2 weeks later you remove those females (they should be pregnant) and put them together in one tub to give birth and nurse. As you remove those two put 2 other female sin (again one with each male) and repeat the whole process.

Where would you recommend for tubs and where would I find the stuff for the watering system

Thanks that was really helpful. Though my snakes are on large and smalls but I have a stock in my freizer to hold off while I grow out
