    When the time comes that you will actually be breeding, keep them separate

    The only time I know they are together is when they first hatch. After you see that they have hatched, then you should separate them.

    From my research, I believe it's normal to keep them together until their first shed, and then separate.

    Re: Babies.

    Wait, your getting a het pied and a pied and contemplating keeping them together? If not good, but this question is just comming at a time when another ball seems to be entering your collection. If it was me i wouldn't think of keeping them together, you never know if that is going to end in a case of cannibalism, or there is a problem with feces but with an investment of that much money, i would spend the extra to get them rollin individually right off the bat.

    No way!!! I just went to the herp shop today, and saw a lot of babies together. I mean, it is a regular practice among pet shops, to keep them together, but, I just wanted to check.
    The Pied and the Het pied will definatley be kept seperate, he is in his tub, and all set up, and the girl's tub is set up and ready for her to come tomarrow.
