    New to breeding
    So I am new to here I have been reading and learning for a while and now i decided to post. I picked up 0.6 Normal ready to breed I will be breeding .3 of them to my 1.0 Pastel and .3 of them to my 1.0 Mojave I have already seen a lock from both the pastel and the mojave. I also have a 0.1 Spider, So the questions I have.

    1. Should i breed my .1 spider to the mojave, or the pastel?
    2. How long after a lock should I see Ovulation, Lay?
    3. When should I set up my incubator?
    4. Should I keep feeding until she refuses?

    Thank you for all your help.

    Why not throw them both in there? If you're not specifically breeding for something then in my personal opinion, its more fun to try a double sire breeding. never know what you're gonna get.
    2. How long after a lock should I see Ovulation, Lay?
    This differs with different females. You will just notice your female ovulate and blow up like a balloon. I use the Prelayshed as the marker.
    3. When should I set up my incubator?
    After shedding, it will take roughly 28-30 days when you see eggs. I usually fire up the incubator 20 days after my first female sheds. I do this to make sure temps are good and some females lay earlier. Also set up your egg box early to get the medium warm before putting eggs on it.
    4. Should I keep feeding until she refuses?
    You can. If the female is big enough, I cut down feeding and stop totally on bigger females after 5+ locks. Thats just me though.
    Goodluck buddy
