First great website! I have been lurking for quite some time reading and such. I have kept a handful of Balls (Normals) over the years. I am at that point in my life where I would like to try breeding and creating morphs as I now own my own home and have room and funds for doing what I want my way. This is mainly for me, not sell. I mean I would sell or trade but its not my main priority.

I want to start off with 4-6 young females and let them grow and do there thing for a couple years. Then bring in the males when its time to breed.

My question is for you guys/gals who have big collections (5 or more). As a ball pet owner I would handle them like a pet and such because I kept him in an aquairum. Now when keeping them in a tub/rack setup how often do you handle them? Do you take them out every so often and let them do there curious explore thing, or do they basically just stay in there tubs and come out for feeding/cleaning and thats it?


Also, I have looked at alot of the DIY rack setups with tubs and some I cant tell from the pics but are you keeping lids on them or because there so close to the top of the shelf theres no need?
