Need some advice.

Here is my dilemma; I am only going to breed two females this season because this is my first initial breeding season and I don't want to overwhelm myself. I have a adult 66% het albino female and a adult pastel female that I will do my initial breeding with. My albino male is ready to breed, but I fear that he may be a little small for either one of these girls. Will they crush him during breeding? I can't help but worry about him...he's ready to go...showing plugs in the water dish and is going through his "puberty sassiness" right now. I just don't want to find him crushed one morning. That would suck badly, has anyone tried to breed a smaller male to a larger female before? do you worry about this or am I just being a nut. He is about three feet and should be pushing 3.5/4 feet by this season. The female I WANT to pair him with is closing on 7 feet and very thick and strong. The pastel is about six feet and pretty thick too...I also have an anery male that is ready to breed and a het albino male who is part suri/cancun that is definitely ready to breed. What should I do?

This is a multi choice poll, you can choose more than one. Thanks all.

I dunno Jim. I've been PMing Gerry from ssscales.com w/breeding questions c. sizes because of Hera. From the response, I'd say the little man would be okay with either, but if it were ME, I'd start him with the smaller of the two.
I can appreciate your concerns!! Now that I have a special boy, I KNOW I'll be worried when he gets close! But if you cross your bigger anery boy, would it give you the babies you want? Would it affect your breeding projects/plans negatively?

Sorry I'm not much more than moral support.....but I am here.

REAAAAAALLY interested in what you finally decide!!

All I can tell you is what other breeders have told me, watch them when you put them together. Introduce them for short periods of time so they get used to each other a little before the full throttle introduction.


I had had a similar sized salmon pastel in with a 7ft female and she'd lay all over him at times.... inbetween him wanting to "Welll, you know." Never seemed to bother him, even though it didn't look to comfy to me at all

That "special boy" will be close by next year!
