Things to know when breeding BPs?
I forget to write down the important things needed when breeding BPs. I feel so stupid because I know I will definitely need to remember these things. Anyway, I have quite a few questions, so if you take the time to answer all of them I will much appreciate it and thank you for all answers! Also, I need to know some definitions of words that I ALWAYS forget so I will list them down after the questions. Ok, here we go:
1) After the male and female has mated, How many days until her pre-lay shed?
2) After her pre-lay shed, should I put in an egg box in her enclosure and with what substrate should I have in that egg box and how many days until I will see eggs?
3) What type of substrate should I use in her enclosure during the mating and throughout the entire time she is gravid until she lays the eggs?
4) What size plastic container (and what brand) should I use for the eggs, and how many inches of substrate (hatch-right) should I put in the plastic container?
5) How many days until the eggs hatch?
6) If anyone can show me pictures or tell me (or both! ) how to make your own incubator I would much appreciate it! I want the eggs to have a nice incubator, not one that's cruddy and not that great.
7) What substrate should I use for the baby BPs when I put them in a new enclosure?
8) Do I need hides, water dishes, decor plants & sticks, and things like that in their new enclosure?
9) When should I feed the babies, and how many days after they have hatched will they shed?
Definitions:
1) Follicles
2) Ovulation
3) And any other important definitions I'll need to know.
Hey, I'm a beginner, can you blame me?
