    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Right now I have a male and female paired in my male's cage. I plan on introducing the females to the males enclosure when I want them to breed. My question about this is, how long do I keep them paired up? It has been a week now, but I haven't caught them in the act.

I'm just wondering what the general consensus is. A week, two weeks?

Thanks!
 
Generally, If I do not witness copulation I will leave the male in the enclosure untill the female is visually gravid. Once you can see eggs through the tummy he can move on.
 
Thanks for help. I'll keep start keeping an eye on her belly until I either see them do it or see the eggs.

Thanks!
 
I find Bronx to be pretty quick to get to it if the females are willing...I'll stick a girl in with him for a few until I see him try...if she won't let him I take her back out and try again in a day or two...I have trouble seeing ovulation...so I just try every couple of days until he gets her :) I've got one female gravid this way (one hasn't let him breed yet after 5 or 6 tries, and the other females he's gotten gravid were made gravid while he was actually being housed with them). I figure its really the safest way, because if they get into a big fight I can cut in and separate them (hopefully without any injury to myself...lol).
