I posted this same post on another forum but really belive we can all learn from each other if we keep good records.
I was hoping we could get some involvement and get a group of breeders to try new breeding ideas this season and keep good records and share results. I believe we get caught up in the breeding recipes........This temp ,That Date ,Incubate this temp, This medium, Etc. If we want to learn from our hobby we need to try new ideas and keep acurate records and we may find something we try may be beneficial and more productive or healthier for our animals. If we remain open minded and share our experiences we all will benefit. So brainstorm and think of something you can try this season like for example . Size of females, Age of Females,Temps, Humidity, Light cycle,Rotate males,Rotate females, incubation , You get the idea! You dont have to make changes to your whole breeding group and actually that would be better because we could compare data from the two groups. I will be trying to breed a few females in 28 qt tubs this season ? Remember stay open minded! I know providing the temp gradient will be the challenge . Also I will be trying 2 males of co dom morphs to see if I can get multiple morphs in a single female. Also to see if using the two males will entice breeding. Anyone have the balls to maternally incubate? Who will be the pioneers of new breeding techniques ? Let the games begin.........Bryan will be devoting two females to 28 qt tubs and multiple male co dom breeding. __________________

So far my pastel male has breed two normal females in 66 qt tubs, he is now with a different female in a 32 qt tub. I just stopped typing to check on them and they are locked up ;D that makes three now. I have a guy that buys rats from me and he let his female hatch her own eggs, and she did it.

I put this in a different thread but it applies here also:
I'm trying the three day method, putting the male with a female for three days then back in his tub for three days. I do offer him a small meal when he is alone but he hasn't eaten one since he's been breeding. The females on the other hand still take their food.
