thats great, sounds like you have a cool colony started. just remember to beef up your females real good. the best you can do. with calcium too. that is my biggest rule of breeding to start out with the best looking, separate bloodlines, and extremely healthy, fat animals. then let them do the rest. till the eggs come anyway!

Hey nice leos, how old did you say they were?
With those weights I would beef them both up a little more before breeding you're basically at the minimum weight they should be and I think your male definately needs some extra weight.

Well i dont no exactly how old they are i forgot to ask the vendor. I have the female in with the male i am letting them be with each other for a week then seperating them. Thought i would try it even no its not the season, My female is 60 grams but my male is 44-43 he hasnt eaten in a while he just isnt intrested.

pat, do you keep them all housed together right now? i only ask this because your male might be a little stressed out. maybe thats why his appetite is on the fritz. he see's the work he has cut out for him....
