1.is it more efficient to house all Leos in there own little set ups and introduce the male ever so often for a few day at a time to breed them...or is it better to just set up colony's of say 1.3-5.0 and let them do there thing?
i currently house 1 male with 3 females in 1 container and i have been led to think this is the best way to breed Leos just let them do there thing but my Leos only produced 5 eggs this season 2 duds and 3 great little hatchlings.from 3 different Leos... but i have recently came across some information saying that it would be better to house them all separately and and rotate the male in and out of the females for 3 days at a time then
repeat again about a week after a female has laid her clutch.....
2. my question is i thought a male only had to breed with a female one time during a breeding season for the female TO produce many clutches during a breeding season or is it more of a female COULD lay many clutches but rebreeding the male back to her after she has layed a clutch will guarantee she will keep producing clutches....what way would you suggest
sry left some info out yes they are all above breeding weight 45+grams and at least a year old yes they get plenty of Calcium yes they have there moist humid hides i have read many books on the subject i think its part of the fun is getting all the knowledge possible even though i suck at spelling sry
3. what is the best box "name size LxWxH" for a single Leo rack system and what is the best box "name size LxWxH" for a colony set up rack system
right now i have 4 breeding colony's really 3 no females in the fourth one and i keep all my hatchling to sub adults in 6-12 qt boxes my temps are good 86f +,- 5f for A/C kicking on and off
Thanks for the help all
