1.is it more efficient to house all Leos in there own little set ups and introduce the male ever so often for a few day at a time to breed them...or is it better to just set up colony's of say 1.3-5.0 and let them do there thing?

i currently house 1 male with 3 females in 1 container and i have been led to think this is the best way to breed Leos just let them do there thing but my Leos only produced 5 eggs this season 2 duds and 3 great little hatchlings.from 3 different Leos... but i have recently came across some information saying that it would be better to house them all separately and and rotate the male in and out of the females for 3 days at a time then

repeat again about a week after a female has laid her clutch.....

2. my question is i thought a male only had to breed with a female one time during a breeding season for the female TO produce many clutches during a breeding season or is it more of a female COULD lay many clutches but rebreeding the male back to her after she has layed a clutch will guarantee she will keep producing clutches....what way would you suggest

sry left some info out yes they are all above breeding weight 45+grams and at least a year old yes they get plenty of Calcium yes they have there moist humid hides i have read many books on the subject i think its part of the fun is getting all the knowledge possible even though i suck at spelling sry

3. what is the best box "name size LxWxH" for a single Leo rack system and what is the best box "name size LxWxH" for a colony set up rack system

right now i have 4 breeding colony's really 3 no females in the fourth one and i keep all my hatchling to sub adults in 6-12 qt boxes my temps are good 86f +,- 5f for A/C kicking on and off

Thanks for the help all

Hi
I Have Breed Leos For Many Years And Ive Always Found That Keeping The Males Seperate From From The Females Is The Best Way As The Male Will Only Breed With The Female Or Females Straight Away Again There For Not Giving The Female Enough Time To Rest And Build Herself Back Up Again.i Also Only Breed Each Female 4 Times A Year, Which Is Why I Keep A Large Amount Of Females And Only 2 Males For Breeding Stock And Have Quite A Success Rate

Hope This Helps

Very cool thanks for the reply. After much searching and post on this and other fourms. I think i am going to be building a rack system to better control the breeding process hopefully this season i will have better results.
