I Think Shes Ready To Breed(pics)

[PDDM]

What do you think?Shes 57 Grams,a few months over a year old,and when she was 26 grams(way back) she laid 2 infertile eggs,i think she could be a pretty good breeder i have to find her a nice male tremper though (which is pretty rare around here) im gonna read about alot more though before i decide to get her a mate,im going to wait though till i buy my beardie his 55 gallon then ill have his 25 gallon to spare room in my single leos 27 gallon long and a ten gallon and five gallon to spare,so should i breed heres pics of her(Btw theres sand in her tank,but she doesnt eat in it and its only half sand i have tiles for the other half which the bowls are on and etc,the tiles are kinda slippery,and she slipped quite a bit n didnt move around alot but since i added the sand for grip shes move active,I only feed her crickets in a dif tank+i may be getting the vibrating exo-terra food dish so i dont have to buy live crix no more):

She looks good...I just bought a 1.2 group of the trempers. Hope to have some nice babies next year. They are all het for bliz as well!

Yea IMO she looks large enough. Tail looks nice and fat too.

I would recommend getting rid of sand tho. I do not trust sand of any amount. As for tiles, buy some raw slate. Either that or tiles that have a rougher finish. (you could try sanding your tiles for better grip too with a heavy grit sand paper) If you 27 gal long is like mine (36"x12"x15", I have 4 :) ) then you can buy 3 pieces of tile/slate that measure 12"x12" and they will fit very snug, but make sure to make some form of handles attached to the underside and coming out the edges so you can still get the tiles/slate out once they are placed.

I dunno about the vibrating dish, I think it may be a waste of $$, but you can try it I guess and make sure that if its garbage you can bring it back!!

yeah i may be getting rid of the sand to get a reptile carpet,but first i need to buy a 55 gallon forthe beardie :S anyways if i do manage to afford another leo after the 55 gallon(there sooo expensive here) i think the season will be over :((Tought getting money at 15,especialy when you need near 500$)

yea I use reptile carpet in all my leo tanks, works great and is a one time purchase like tiles, plus it's softer and very grippy.
