A couple of questions : )

RedQuake Feb 04, 2004 01:37 PM

For those who keep multiple females together, when you breed them do you put them back together or do you keep them separate? When i do start breeding i'd like to keep track of which eggs came from which female, so separating them would be best......does this freak out the female if she's been in a group setting for a while or does it make things easier on her?

Also, i'm going to be inquiring with different breeders for the other morphs i'm looking for. I only want 2 males, but i would like to get a group of females (las vagas albino, bell, jungle, stripe, ghost etc.) If i get all the females from the same breeder and they are all the same size, does the quarentine still apply, meaning do i have to keep each separate like i did for my first group? (they were of differing sizes when i got them). This also applies to the AFT's i wish to get (banded, stripe and amelistic (sp?)

And lastly, when they say *ghost* is that the same as snow or pastel? I'm trying to get as diverse a population as possible for pet purposes, not breeding.

We are beginning some huge renovations resulting in my having the entire basement to myself. If i need to keep each female separate for quarentine then i will start setting up my 10, 15 and 20 gallon tanks again, but if not i have spots for 4 more 40 gal tanks on top of what i have now so i could group the geckos together in one or two of those. Then again buying a rack and keeping them all in their own tubs is also an option for quarentine...i'm going to be buying one anyways....

Thoughts, suggestions, opinions? all are welcome

Thanks,
Red

The way i tell which female laid the egg is take a look at their tail and youll notice a huge difference once they lay their eggs....
