Well its that time of year again! WooHAAA! Jack has been going crazy in his cage the last week or so with constant pacing and racing so I figure now is the time to make pairings. To bad Jack doesn't get any action. I feel bad for the guy. Sonny gets both the ladies this year. I put Sonny in with Golden Eye last night and this morning at 7:30 they were locked up. Here are pics of each...

He will also have this girl and I am VERY excited about this pairing.

He hasn't met her yet but I sure hope he thinks she is as good looking as I do!
Golden Eye produced a small clutch of 4 WP's ealier this year. Her weight has more than doubled and she is over 7 1/2 pounds now! She is enormous! To me it looks as though she has already started forming follicles and will have a huge clutch this year. I have tried palpating but I suck at it and gave up. I'd hate to jinx myself but I think this will be the season I get my first BIG clutch.
Now a ? for you. How do you recomend breeding one male to two females. I am sure several ways would be successful but I am wanting to hear someone else's input.
I plan on taking him out of the females cage every three days for a couple days of rest before being introduced to a different female. If I see them lock up I plan on seperating them the next day, figuring the deed has been done for that three days. Any input would be great!
