WOW This question needs answering...(Introductions)
I was shocked when I started reading up on breeding again today. I had done a lot of research months ago as well as a couple months worth last year and also bought a certain expensive video(I'm sure you have it too). From what i remembered, most of what I saw was that people were introducing their females into their males cage. Now what I'm seeing is that most people on here if not everyone and other places as well put the males in the females cage. I've been using this video as a bible more or less because it was written by some of the best and my internet was out for a while. I have had breeding success, no eggs yet(fingers crossed), but its a pretty big difference to not even mention it in an $80 video/book. I just wanted to get an idea of what everyone on here is really doing and how bad my mishap will actually turn out... :( Thanks for any advice!:gj:

I introduce my males, into each female's tub. I then rest him in his own tub, and put him into the next girl's tub. :)
Re: WOW This question needs answering...(Introductions)
See I was under the impression that the male needed to feel at home because they do most of the work and if you put them in a new enclousure theyll pay mor attention to that than the new female. It makes sense because 2 of my adult females are female dogs in general, always trying to bite, very tense when handled, I'm sure when I move them theyre not happy and the male probably gets no love because of it. Arrrrgggg! :stupidme:

Re: WOW This question needs answering...(Introductions)
I have always introduced my males into the females cage.
Re: WOW This question needs answering...(Introductions)
Ya the Dr. Seward video says to put the female in the males cage for the above reasons...Whats the midset behind putting th male into the females cage as opposed to the opposite? The female needs to be more comfortable?

I meant "Whats the mindset behind putting th male into the females cage as opposed to the opposite?" Sorry :D
Re: WOW This question needs answering...(Introductions)
It's easier to turn a male on to breed than it is to get a female to commit to ovulation...I've always left females in their enclosures & moved males around.
Re: WOW This question needs answering...(Introductions)
The reason that I put my females into my males cages is I believe that my males feel comfortable in their own tubs. Just my thought on it. It seems to work for me. Hope this helps. :cool:
Re: WOW This question needs answering...(Introductions)
In many cases the females are much larger than males and that's one of the reasons I go with female's tub. Also if I am using different males the scent of the other male may cause a stronger breeding response. Most active males don't care where they are when in breeding mode, snakes too.LOL:D
