breeding

how long should i let the male have sex with the female for?... like on time enough or should i just let them go untill she has her eggs?

[jay_scir]

I keep my male with the females all year unless i notice that he's stressing her out. One time is enough but i don't like to take chances on infertile eggs.

kool , what are signs that the female is being stressed. and could the first batch of eggs off a female be infertile because the eggs may have been there b4 the male got at her?
