I know people recommend 3 days on, 3 days off for breeding, but would I be hurting my chances of eggs if I gave more time off? I plan on pairing my enchi male with 3 normal females. He's already locked with one of them, but he's small, 550g small. I don't want to run him down too much, so I'm wondering if I could just pair him for 3 days every 2 weeks. Only one of the females will be paired just with him, the other two are going to be getting dates with a proven breeder pyb I am going to be picking up on Nov. 13th - I will be quarantining him and the proven breeder female I picking up with him until early January, I won't be pairing him with my other girl right away.
Would I be hurting my chances of eggs if I gave him more time off like that? I'm far more concerned with his health than I am with eggs but it would be nice to have a successful first season.
