I have had them together only a short time. I work out of town for long periods. My sister gave me the mail after my nephew decided he did not want it. They were housed separate but the tank the male was in was cracked by accident and not having time to obtain a new cage before leaving town for work I had only the option of putting them together. They are now separated but only since last Sunday so I'm sure they bred several more times before i moved the male. Any tips on making an incubator?
