What to look for when you are getting ready to breed

[LadyOhh]

This is for John.

1) Make sure your males are producing sperm plugs.

What do they look like? Like flying nuns hats





2) Make sure your females are females and that they will be large enough and healthy enough to take on being bred and gravid.

What is large enough? Well, 1200+ grams and two years old is excellent, although it can be variable. The bigger (healthily) the better



3) Make sure you know what a lock looks like.

LOOK! HERE'S ONE!!



Here is not one... This is what we call "trying"




4) Breed often, love well, feed when appropriate

(Insert clever picture here)

5) Remember, we are working with live animals. NOTHING goes to plan, and if it does, CONGRATULATIONS! (You must have gotten the luck I missed out on this past year)

This is bad luck: (aka Slugs)



This is good luck: (aka hitting the odds)




FINALLY, REMEMBER:

HAVE FUN. IT IS NOT WORTH IT IF YOU DON'T ENJOY IT!!!
