How often do you breed?

[jajeanpierre]

I've finally succeeded in getting a breeding between my newly imported graciliors. The male is young. He only weighed 25g when I bought him a few days after he was imported the first week in February. He's over 50g now.

He's been a little aggressive when I introduced the female into his enclosure. At one point, he had her on her back while he tried to gore her before I was able to get to her and rescue her. I felt she was receptive, so I put him in her cage and got two matings today. After each breeding, I put him back in his cage.

How many times a day should I try to get a breeding? Because of his past aggressive behavior towards her, I will not leave him with her unless I am watching. I think it is just adolescent male stupidity, but I just won't trust him. (I've seen really aggressive behaviors from young cockerels towards hens before they sorted themselves out so I gave him the benefit of the doubt.)

How many breedings should I try to get? Thanks for any input.

For all chameleons I put them together for breeding once every day or two until the female rejects the male- she will get dark, gape and rock in his presence.

The title says "How often do you breed?" I am going to assume you left off "your chameleons" and we will leave it at that. Depends on the history of the male and/or female for me. Most I will breed once, and relax. Some, I will give a couple tries, two days in a row. Panther and Veils seem to get it right the first time. I watch for my females to turn their gravid colors. For your species, I am a complete idiototto. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Yes it does help.
