Happy, but a tiny bit hesitant...

also just curious - where did you get your fire? pics??

Ash came from Capital City Gheckos in Ottawa Ontario, same time as I got my Enchis. Figured he would go very late season. I didn't expect a first time lock from him at all.

Bruce,

How many females do you plan to breed him to? A confirmed lock, once a month per female should be plenty.

Did you say you keep yours paired two weeks and out one? Or was that a typo?

I generally do three days in, four days (or longer - depending on if I'm waiting for a weather system to arrive) out. While I was breeding darn near weekly last year, I'm giving the boys more of a rest this year, and at the MOST frequent, the girls are only breed once every 2 to 3 weeks.

I go by one week schedules...

Feed on day 1, pair on day 3, if no lock remove on 5, rest for two days.
Start over, then 1 week off. That would be most I would breed any of them.

He is getting one girl exclusively, but I may run him through the odd extra girl as well. Probably the odd lock with each of the Pastel and YB males' mates. If he is doing well and being consistent. That would give him 3 total. The other girls, if they go really late and he is still up to task, I would pop him in as well.

Last year, both my girls laid end of summer... all the snakes had their temps back up but were still breeding.

Very cool man, Looks like the sperm on the females back helped. congrats man

I owe you a fire for that one... I figured it was a trick I would not use, but it did work like a charm.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I do appreciate it.
