Anyone out there ever done this and care to explain an efficient and productive way of doing this?

Hi Jared,

Well we tried this method this season and are now seeing the fruits of our labor. We bred our one male albino to several females (4 in total). I have to tell you, I was rather skeptical about the results of this but so far I have been more than pleased. Of the 4 girls, 3 have produced so far. The smallest litter was 5 live and 18 slugs. However the other 2 were similar at 16 live as well as some stills and slugs (not bad for their first litters). Our final female is due any day now and she has blown up so I am expecting good things from her. As far as an efficient way, there was no method to our madness (and believe me it was madness). It was very subjective where essentially we looked in the tank and said "I think he's done" and moved on to another female. We would rotate through all the girls several times to make sure but thats how we did it. We are going to try to refine our method this up coming season but we are not disappointed so far. Hope this helps.
