[QUOTE="Andee, post: 124249, member: 26964"] So I have several years ahead before I have to worry about breeding anyone. Even the 3 year olds coming to me. They won't be mature for at least another 3 years if I am correct, and possibly longer. But I have been looking into things, because I am who I am and I love to have 6 months+ of research under my belt constantly before even trying to breed or keep anything new.... so here it is? To you who pull egg sacs, why do you do it? To you who don't, is there a good outcome and way to not do it? Everyone seems to want to pull them but I can't figure out why. I feel if the egg sac goes bad or the mom eats it there was a good reason. But I am also one of those people who believes the best genetics are very important. I also am aware I am a massive newbie when it comes to T's and I don't understand everything even about things I have been keeping and breeding for years.... so why not ask some who have been doing this for years? I know I am starting out by doing some taboo things with my T's anyways... at least with how it was met on other forums. But my T's are thriving and showing natural behaviors that I adore like burrowing and making full use of their enclosures as such. Next I would like to know, if I pull the egg sacs what are some of the best ways to make or what are the best ready made incubators? I want something that is going to keep healthy babies similar to what mom would? I would like it especially as a back up in case I get an abandoned but otherwise healthy sac. Or like mom dies after creating it? Something unexpected but just covering bases? -Thanks so much everyone! [/QUOTE]
