pannaking22 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If they're adults and they were kept in a colony before being shipped to you, I'd say there's a very high chance that they are gravid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hey Jerry, glad you made it over here! I agree with panna, if they were with male hissers then they will be pregnant, so make sure your enclosure is escape proof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 How's it HD , I'm excited tomorrow I get to go pick up .y female hissers not sure how many thinking like 4 would be good to go with the two males I have already and then let the colony begin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Got my females hissers they weren't what a was expecting they are juveniles o well they will grow up Try keeping the females much warmer than the males, the females will grow faster and the males will live longer kept cooler. That way you can try to sync them up better, don't want your males kicking the bucket before they get to mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
