Thanks to everyone for your in put!

Pendragon - I have noticed that there are two or more females in the nest area in the tub. My usual breed ratio is 1:4. Once they have babies I usually leave everything alone, like my snakes, and clean only when necessary.

They will eat the young when any combination, or even just one of the following occurs:

They are scared
They are stressed
Food isn't right
water isn't right
They are crowded
They are mad at you

NEVER remove the male to leave the mom alone with the kids. Again, read up on the old threads.
Thank you Mike Cavanaugh for your input as well. I think I've figured it out, at least with my situation. I did some thinking while reading these posts and others and remembered that last season I would separate the pregos or moms with babies into their own separate tank. This allowed me to give the babies a separate diet for faster growth. This is what I need to go back to.

THANKS GUYS!!!
