You've got to be strong-willed with the Blue Beauties. they are masters at intimidation. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

As for breeding. I keep my trio together all year round and tend to cool them in late summer, nothing serious just a 5-10 degree drop from their norm during the night and day if at all. Then I start pumping them full of food and continue to do so long after I know the females are gravid. I feed them up until the pre-egglaying shed.

As for incubation, I've always used vermiculite, but this coming year I'm switching to sphagnum moss.

Pretty much if you keep them warm and EXTREMELY well fed, they'll breed no problem.
