Hi, Ken and Tom.

You have provided a lot of great advise, so I have some more elemtary questions for you:

1. When the hatchlings are born, do you leave any adults with them, or do you need to keep them separate?

2. I am being advised to keep the male away from the female...and that you can expect the female to lay several times during the year. How do you cycle the male in and out with the female?

3. I am also assuming that you cannot leave a Watertub outside without some kind of protective cover to keep the predators out. Am I missing anything here? One of my options is to keep the tubs underneath my second story deck, next to the house. I still worry that a racoon will find his way to the tub.

Thanks for the continuing great advise.
