Has anyone here ever tried breeding one male to a pair of females at a time?
I know of at least one big breeder that has done it with some success.. I wouldn't mind getting some other opinions on this type of breeding though..
This attempted breeding is between a hold back male Anery het Snow (Gaines line) by 2 Tripple hets.. The tripple hets are sisters (siblings)..

Thanks for your opinions in advance!!
Have a safe and Happy New Year every one!!!

Back in the 2004-2005 season, I tried breeding one male to 3 females. All 3 females were fertilized by the male, but only 2 of 3 got "good results". One of them had... well "half-success"(there were about 50% slugs and 50% healty babies).
If I were you, I would use one or rather 2 males to one female. I'm pretty sure that the female needs the male's whole attention for successful breeding. When the male's attention is divided, you may won't get so good results.
My opinion only, but I would gladly hear the others, too.

Good luck and Happy New Year!

Thanks Adam
I figured one male to one female as a rule.. He's been breeding one of the females for about 2 1/2 months and no ovulation yet. So I decided to put in her sister about a week ago to up the odds? Last night when I got home I heard some banging around in the reptile room, when I went in there I found that all three of them had gotten out.. What a mess, they had nocked things off shelves and opened some other cages, so there were other boas loose too! I managed to find them all except the sister tripple het I just put in there a week a go! She's still on the loose, luckally she can't get out of the snake room.. I figured shes behind the stacks of Vision cages I have set up against an outside wall! I'll have to catch her when she comes out to play or pull the cages away from the wall?

Thanks again for the reply,
