Isn't that weird...pretty cool. That's a healthy, bulbous looking female...sexy. When I put them together, I just let them do their thing. The next day, they are just sitting around separate from each other. Female seems to avoid the male the next day. That's when I separate them.

Congrats! Would you care to elaborate a little more on how to get them "in the mood"? Do you have to cycle them and do all that stuff, or is it just a matter of introducing a male and female to each other?

Thanks,
Andrew

i've heard they're extremely hard to breed...is that so?

also how big are their bodies (not counting tail/legs) when they are ready to breed?
