Give me your thoughts.

I know there are mixed opinions on this. Give me yours. I am going to be breeding my male possible fire with both of my females this year to try and prove him out and if lucky, to make a female fire to pair him with in a couple of years. Would you put both females in with him at the same time or just one at a time?

You mean all three in the same enclosure?

I know most breeders who use multiple males to females put them in with one female for 3 days, then give a 3 day break alone, then in with another female for 3 days, then another 3 day break. It varies, but that's the general practice from what I've gathered.

A lot of breeder use one male to 3-5 females. You need to put them in each female's enclosure one at a time. Put him with female 1 for 2-3 days, give him a 2 day break and put him in with female 2 for 2-3 days and so on. That way he sees each female multiple times during the breeding season.

Cheers!

I'd place him with one female at a time and leave the females in their own home.

Pictures of said fire could save you lots of time, I'm sure there is people who could/would help ID the snake for you if you aren't sure it's a fire.

The male is usually put into the female enclosure for 2-3 days, then a 2-3 day break, then on to the next female.

The snake in question of being a fire is the snake in my avatar. Since I don't know the lineage of this particular animal, the only way I can prove it out is to breed it out.

Upload said pic to Photobucket and copy and paste the IMG code. Where did u get him from and did u buy him as a fire??

He was a rescue that had been left unattended for 7 weeks in December with no electricity or heat he had intestinal worms. I have nursed him back to health, he just got a clean bill from the vet. He has no known lineage.

What do you mean by prove it out?

I believe that he assumes that it is a fire so he is going to breed it to try and "prove" that it is.
