    Pairing 1 male to multiple females

    How do you cycle the male? Do you pair the male with a certain female for 3 days, give him 3 days off, then pair him with the next female? Or do you rotate daily for 3 days, then give him a break, then rotate daily again? I'm guessing it's 3 days with the same female, but I just want to be sure . Thanks .

    I do 3 days in, 4 days out - that way I am always doing the same thing on the same day of the week. Definitely helps with knowing who is going where on what day.

    I like that idea. I think I'm pretty organized, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. It would also give the snakes an extra day to digest food .

    This is exactly what I do. I started pairing my spinnerblast to my big ole normal girls last monday. Got my first lock and gave him 4 days off. Today I put him in with my next big girl. He gets plenty of time to rest up a bit and eat some grub.

    In with one female for 3 days, out for 3, then in with a different female for 3 days. At least that's what I do.

    Male A with female 1 - (2 days)
    Male A with female 2 (2 days) - Male B with female 1 (2 Days)
    Male A with female 3 (2 days) - Male B with female 2 ( 2 days) - Male 3 with female 1 (2 days)

    Then come 2 days break for everyone (rest and feeding) then it's back to the same rotation or moving along through more females following the same principal.
