To the OP. A 3 day on, 3 day off schedule is fine and don't worry if you vary from it a bit. I have heard that males will not breed if they are shedding, but apparently they like a shedding female or a freshly shed female. I'm not sure how much of that is true, but I do know my males will NOT breed if they are in shed. They want to look nice for the ladies. I begin pairing in October/November and if I'm waiting for a girl to get up to size, she might not start being paired up until much later. This past season I began pairing one girl in November, one in December, and one in mid-March. All 3 took this season. Good luck to you.
Ive normally started pairing and cooling in oct,november and not seeing any real action till january..I got 3 c lutches from 3 females bred but this year im gonna keep feeding til dec as long as they keep eating b4 i pair up...If they stop eating sooner ill throw males in with em...gonna let them decide when they wanna breed next season
