Last year was my first year breeding.
I cooled them to 78 day / 76 night with no heat for one month.
I reduced feeding the males to every 7-10 days, and continued feeding the females every 5 days.
I got 14 fertile eggs and 1 slug(9.0 / 5.1) from the only .2 females that were really bred.
I did have one virgin female drop 12 ("scallops") unfertillized eggs two weeks into cooling.
One female was 1280g to start with, and went off feed during cooling. I placed a male in with her for 3 days to try and get her to rebound and start eating again, in order to prepare for breeding.
After 3 days with the male, and one lck, I pulled him out. I gave her 4 days of rest and offered food.
She did not eat again and was down to 1208g, so I decided to give her another year and not to breed her.
This season I have 35 females that are 1500g+ and ready to go, and 8 more that are 1250g+ and should be ready to go later in the season.
The 35 females and my males have been cooling at 78 degrees again since Mid Sept. and pairings will begin shortly.
