    Re: A new breeder with pairing questions

I put the het albino with the first female and after 2 hours decided I would check on things. The female seemed to be desperately trying to get out of the enclosure and the male was balled up in the middle of the tub. I noticed slight blood on the paper substrate and noticed a small amount of blood near the females vent area. Because I'm still new to this, I separated them to prevent any possible injury. Is there anything with this that I need to concern myself with or is this normal behavior? Should I keep them apart or should I try to put them together again?

    Thanks in advance.
    Well are you 100% sure they are females and males? Its normal to see a little blood from a male while he attempts breedings.
