I put my males in the females cage. A lot of people say to put the males in the female's cage, but due to cage sizes, I can't get away with that because my females won't fit in the males cages. I've heard of both ways being successful, just whichever works for you.



Also, as for multiple females, I prefer not to. As mentioned, can cause stress on the females, but also can put too much snake in a very small space. For example 2 big females 1 male in a cage that fits 1 female comfortably.



I like doing 1 male-1 female at a time. That way it is easier to ensure that he is getting enough sperm inside her and courting her enough to make sure she ovulates. If you have 2 females available, he will probably go back and forth, possibly not getting enough sperm in either of them, and then you might have 2 litters of slugs.... OUCH.



Just my opinion, but everybody has success with different techniques. The best way is to expirement and find what works for you. Just one tip of advice, don't get greedy. It's going to require PATIENCE!



Best of luck
