I get my females on Thursday and I have their quarantine cage ready and plan on having them set apart from the rest of my colony for a month but I need to know if I should only introduce my male to one female or to both. I'm also thinking of getting an even BIGGER male simply to see if that will produce better results as I read that encouraging SOME competition is good for breeding. The only thing I'm worried about is my male losing his tail...he has signs of floppy tail due to his tendency to hang with his head down and I'm extremely anal about tails on my animals.

I clearly have NO idea what I'm doing and I'd appreciate help from experienced breeders. Thanks and once I get hatchlings, I'll post pics!
