Could I litteraly just put the female in there (or other way around) and just expect them to hook up? I've read quite a bit about breeder and can't really find a good answer on when exactly you tell when they are ready to breed.
That is what I do

I think he is actually trying to ask (for people who breed all year round) How do you know if the male/female is ready to go at that time of year...Not necessarily just if he/she is sexually mature enough to breed. I think I get the question, but I'm not sure how to answer it myself. I just know most people start in October/November. This is my first year, so I just followed the book and it seems to be working well for me.

Do you know how to pop/probe to make sure your male is a male and female is a female?
Do you have an incubator ready, so you don't have to do a ghetto rig later on?
