Robyn, Thanks for the idea..

Thanks for the idea, Tiger X Ivory. I probably would have paired them anyway, but now I know it is a good idea. The Tiger Cub, has been going really strong once he got the hang of it. He is only a little over 400gr, he breeds and feeds every week. He hasn't skipped a meal even in shed.
Ben, Does this look like a graphite Ivory to you? The flash washes out some of the speckling.

That male looks a little thin to me! Relax, just kiddin'

Don't pick on the little cub. The girls think he is cute, they go for that little boy look.

I've got a 450 gram CH yellowbelly male that locked up with 4 females. I was proud of the little champion.

One of the girls he locked to just had her pre-lay, so this time next month I'm expecting eggs.

That awesome!! I dont know how you guys get those young males to go so early. I have a 600g Desert male that only wants to eat, but not breed. I hope the luck of this thread rubs off on me.

Good luck on that pairing.

Relax a bit, I put my 700g spider to a female on NOV 1st. I put my males in on Sundays, and take them out on Wednesdays. I rotated him just like that, and he didn't figure it out until mid JANUARY!!!!!!!!! Just give it time, and he will figure it out. The year before that my 500g mojave took 6 weeks of rotation to figure it out...stick with it.

That is awesome, best of luck!

It really wasn't my idea at all, Chad does all the pairings and strategies for the ball combos. I just appreciate the great results : )
