If you've never bred before and you don't know what to look for ... keep putting the male in with the females until you get eggs.

Over time, you'll develop an eye for picking out behaviors and being able to palpate females (some people even ultrasound) to know when you no longer need to put a male in with them.

Hope this helps.
