Getting ready to introduce.......

[darkridder]

Alright so My female is finally big enough ( I think ) to breed. She weighs 50 grams and the male weighs 90 grams.

I have a few questions though....

How should I introduce the male to the female, just drop him in her tank and watch to make sure they dont fight? or should I drop her in his tank?

Should I put in another moist hide ect so they each have one?

And is their weight good enough?

Thanks!

I just poop the female into the male’s cage. Sometimes they will look as if they are fitting, let them go for a while. There is really nothing to it.

I've yet to have a bad experience. I just put the female(s) in the male's tank, and let nature take its course. Just added a new adult female yesterday morning, and it was already sharing the moist hide with the male yesterday afternoon, snoozing the day away. I may add another moist hide just because I have 1.3 in the tank now, but they seem to take turns pretty well, so it may not be necessary. I did add a small 3-in-1 repti-shelter, (main moist hide is a medium), but none of the leos seem interested in it, although it is clearly big enough for at least my smaller female to use.

You poop the female? How does that work?

Spoke too soon... witnessed typical male/male aggression between the existing male and the new leo. New one still looks female to me. Had to seperate "her" for the time being. :main_no:
