Well, they're just not that hard to breed. I keep mine seperated except during breeding, others keep them together year round, and pretty much just end up with the females eventually ovulating. I feed up until cooling, which consists mostly of my natural ambient temps going down as winter sets in. I leave the heat tape on and that's about it for cooling. This gets them down into the 70's and dipping into upper 60's. I introduce them and as they'll do almost any time of year, they start courtship and soon enough copulation. Keep them fed and healthy and you should have no problems breeding them, don't overfeed them though. Here's a tip that works for me if I want a maximum production year. I will breed 1 male to 3 females. They tend to cycle in harmony with each other and I end up with a higher fertility rate. I keep them in one cage then seperate after ovulation. This is what allowed me to figure things out as well in regards to prelay sheds as I had several females doing everything within days of each other. People dismissed it when I wrote about it on here years ago, but now I see people mention it when awaiting a litter. Generally if you have a shed prior to birth, it will be a good litter. If they drop then go into shed, you probably had a bad litter. I also do 1.1 for specific breedings, but those usually produce a slug or two. That's not much, but compared to the groups producing no slugs, it's a clear difference IMO. I don't know who's selling a video on breeding Dumerils, but it's really not necessary unless you just want to see his animals. The Reptiles article is available if you want something to read, but I didn't think it was all that educational. He keeps them together year round, pretty simple. LOL, if you'd like, I can add some big words and make it sound really tricky if that helps. When the time comes, I doubt you have any problems.
