    wow really? that sounds mad crazy. I mean even if you did fatten them up, that sounds like allot of stress to one male to me.

    Consider:
    There's no more stress to a male breeding 10 females than there is breeding 1 female, if you're using exactly the same schedule. He doesn't care if he is breeding the same female, or a different one, every other day.
    The only trick is making sure each female is getting enough 'attention' at the right times, so they'll produce fertile clutches.

    I'll bet the folks with ultrasound machines breed their males to a LOT more girls...

    So true, I was just curious to see what everybody out there was doing with their males. And not one of the lucky ones with the ultrasound machines so gotta rely on feeling around and my eyeballing.
