you already have my # and you know you are welcome to call anytime. like i mentioned earlier , i havent found getting them to mate that big of an issue(unless you have an incompatible pair). most xanths get along fairly well, and if they are left together for any length of time the deed is going to happen. nor have i found the raising of born healthy neonates to be an issue. i think by far the hardest piece of the puzzle, is keeping the whole nutritional/supplemental conditioning thing on target. it also helps to identify a gravid state early on, so that process can be started earlier, but that sort of takes an intentional mating, which non of mine have been. to be honest, i have had my share of setbacks lately too. my view is just MY view, so i am not all that sure that should be viewed as any sort of holy grail. one thing i know for sure, is as soon as you are positive you have got it all under control, thats when things will start going wrong. jmo
