    1st time breeder...
    So I put my albino and normal together last night and they locked for over 12hrs. I Plan to leave then together for four days and give them a three day break.

    My question is how long should I continue this schedule? What signs should I look for while they are together other then locking?

    Thanx for reading. Please share the knowledge.

    after you witness a lock you should go ahead and separate and it should be 3 days together and 4 days apart.

    Of course, just to clarify juuust in case... separate after they have 'unlocked' :)

    Well the just locked again and they have only been together since yesterday night.

    So just to understand correctly. I should leave them together for a max of three days but If I see a lock wait till they "unlock" and separate them for 4 days?

    Once they lock the first time and are done, then you are supposed to separate them and give them a break :)

    Yes. Well, I've read that done people do 3 days off, some 4... I'm sure an expert will let us know - I'm new too, I just know what I've read :) personally, I think I will end up doing 4...
