this is only the beginning of the frustration, if/when they do breed, then you have to WAIT for the babies. Then odds are if you produce enough babies, sooner or later you'll run into problem babies. Sometimes picky eaters, deformed, stillborn and you even run the risk of losing your female or male (the same risks we all run).

Bottom line, do it because you love it. Not much is better than checking on your gravid female and finding a pile-o-slime and healthy babies.

LOL except of course finding your female expelling said pile-o-slime and healthy babies....That is WAY cool!!
