breeding questions..

[zeion97]

Doing as much research before starting to breed is an excellent idea, as is studying how to build an incubator and a hatchling rack, how to wire flexwatt up, how to start babies eating, how to sell babies, etc. etc.
The how to list is quite long and I think many people rush in way too fast without realizing all that there is to "breeding" and then get overwhelmed, it really is easy to do.

That said the real knowledge comes from actually doing the breeding, learning what you can from any source you can and then apply it as best you can to your situation.

Thanks. I've been put some research into what to do and all, just as I'm trying to find the best rack (want to start the switch over) it's a lot to take in but itself part of owning the pet. I had a large saving set up for this, but hey stuff happens. If need be, I'll use a plastic tub as an incubater!

You can never go wrong with research. Asking questions on forums, at shows or anywhere is a good way to learn from people with experience. Also watch videos, YouTube has a bunch of videos from people showing off their collections. Tons of breeding tips, behavior changes...bowl wrapping, inversion and egg laying, etc. You can also find videos and DIY tips on building racks, incubators and other husbandry necessities. 2011 was my first season breeding and these resources helped me have a successful season. Good luck and have fun.

Very nice. To be honest I had some hopes to start this season, but as I just said I had some financial issues, but its life! I've still got awhile if need be.

To your season? What did you produce?
