You think they will breed or not?

Herp-Keeper Mar 19, 2005 09:54 AM

Hey people,
I have one male mali, one female mali and one male nigerian all in the same cage for about a year now. The male and female haven't bred yet (I didn't really think about that when i bought her). The male mali and male nigerian never even look at eachother so they don't fight over the female. Do you think that the male and female malis will breed even with the other male in the cage? (i hope not).
Please reply.

well do you know how old they are? did you get them as babies?
also if you want them to breed usually you have to brumate them to get their cycles going
also the males may not be physically fighting but there could still be intimidations factors going on and stress can lead to health problems.
