    Breeding questions.

    I have a few questions since this is my first season.


    I plan on breeding 2 males and two females.
    I have a female that I want to only have 1 of the males as a partner.
    The other female I want to mix in the two males. How should I do the schedule? I wanted to do a 3 on 3 off schedule, but was unsure of how to do this since I will have 1 male for 2 females and 1 female that will get the two males.
    One of my females is very aggressive. I just got her a few weeks back. Is it safe to drop another snake in their with her? Or should I wait until I cane tame her more?

    That's one for every month you should try to quarantine, 60 days minimum away from your collection.
    That gives you time to see if they are healthy and protects your collection from possible mites and URI.

    Tame her by feeding her
    especially if your going to breed her.

    So I have another question.
    I have one of my pairs together now. Well it appears that one of them decided to get in the water dish then track across the tub. Now the humidity is at 99%. It's only day 1, should I replace the substrate and put them back in for another 2 days? Or wait until the 3 days are up to clean it?

    I would leave it for another the rest of the 3 days. The other thing is, they don't have to breed any more often than 4-6 weeks. About once per shed cycle. Each girl is gonna be different as far as when she ovulates. It might take 2 breedings, it might take 10. The girl you want to for sure have the one boy sire the clutch, after the initial breeding, only put that boy with her, just to play it safe. As far as the other one goes, put which ever boy, whenever. Remember though, each male only has a certain number of times it can breed in a season, sodon't exhaust the one you want to breed to the one girl for sure. There's a learning curve for sure. I'm glad I have a great mentor. PM me if yoi want, or if you have any more techincal questions. I can give you my number and you can call me too. This whole breeding thing is exciting to say the least.
