okay just got done reading that 11 page article that someone posted for me to read. i have some questions about some things i was reading in it. should i put a stick in at all every (before or while breeding at all during the year)? should i put a hide box? i was told not to so im thinking maybe just a piece of crumpled newspaper to hide his face under? and i was also reading about some shelfs that people had. i dont get the point of this other than it would be easy to clean the cage without them getting disturbed (clean the bottom when they are on the shelf part and the shelf when they are on the bottom). i dont plan on making a shelf in the cages im going to make so what do you all do keep from disturbing them while in the breeding months? im building cages out of pvc sheets about 1/8" thick and am planning on 4' long, 2' deep and 2' tall, what do you think of that? can i keep the male in something a little smaller and in a plastic clear container while not breeding? thanks for reading over this all and helping me out!
