    Breeding in Tanks?

    Hey guys! I have a quick question that I know you guys will be able to help me with I'll be breeding a very small pair next season, but my two that will be up to size by then are in tanks and the rest which are small are in a rack system. So I was wondering if I could pair them inside the tanks or should I buy a big tub that I can put them in to breed. Also I was wondering if anyone has ever let their females lay eggs in a tank or should I let her lay her eggs in the big breeding tub? I just want to know now because I'm getting everything ready for next season thank you so much for all your help! Love you guys

    i heared they even breed in nature

    no, seriously, if the husbandry is fine its fine.
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    Re: Breeding in Tanks?

    You shouldn't have any issues with breeding/laying in a tank. Just be prepared to do a deep clean of the tank when you remove the male (the females tend to dirty the tubs). Also, put the tank in a low-traffic area or cover all the sides. You want to make them feel secure enough to breed.

    That said, I used to get feeders from a pet shop who had a breeding pair in a 40 gal tank that bred all the time with only one half-log hide and in a high-traffic area in the pet store.

    I would think it would be fine. However, I've seen and heard some pretty rough and tumble things going on in the closed up tub while they're breeding, and to be honest, I would worry they may break or crack a glass tank. Sometimes it sounds like a WWE match going on...I've seen the panels of an AP rack get bowed a bit by a large female twisting and thrashing...
