Breeding?

[Gordon21]

Hey is it possible for me to breed my 1500g female with my 500g male? or is he too small cuz if u ask me i would think my female will eat the male lol

No, you're good. 1500 is perfect for the female, and my 500 gram male is breeding two females just fine. The smallest male that I've actually seen breed was 350 grams. Just make sure you rotate and keep him eating.

ok thnks but what u mean rotating?

[Carusima]

3 days breeding, 2-3 days feeding and resting.

ah ok yea so put them together for 3 das and then seperate them for the other 3 days for feeding and rest or keep them together?

My first year I did the male 3 days in with the female and 4 days out. Fed on the first day out, 72 hours to rest and digest.

Now I don't rotate the male in as frequently, as I don't believe it's necessary to do it that often. This year the male goes with an individual female once a month. So, one male may be with a female a week, but never the same female more than one time a month.

Here's a 395 gram male breeding with a female from Markus Jayne Reptiles:
