Yeah at 79 degrees they are more likely to be female. at 85-87 it could go either way. at 90 it's more likely to get males. For my first couple rounds I'll probably set it low to try and get females. And I'll probably keep at least one of the babies. I have a few people who already want babies. So I'm really excited once I get out of my immediate friends to see who else would want some.
Claire has laid eggs before so it's likely I'll get eggs a couple times this year from her. Today after work I'm going to look at incubators or to look into making my own. I have instructions all it just takes an aquarium heater and moss and I just have to keep it a little moist but not too moist or they will drown.
When I first get the girls I may keep them together in Jack's old tall 20 gallon tank for the 60 days they have to stay away from my boys. It depends on if they are used to being together or not. If they aren't Claire will get the 20 and Kate will get the 10 until I can put her with Jack in the middle of May. I'm so excited. I'm hoping sometime in the next couple months that there will be a $1 a gallon sell on tanks at Petco. That's how I've bought all my tanks. I save about $30 on a 20 gallon tank. I may not get to put Claire with Charlie for a while so I'm not in any hurry. They usually have the sell in May or June so I can wait until then. Depends on Charlie's size.
The woman who sold them to me is also sending me lots of millworms because she has too many right now. She's sending me enough for all my leo's. I thought that was nice of her.
