Spliting them up would be a good start

the easiest thing is to roll them in a beaten egg then the crumbs will stick better, then stick em under the grill for a few minutes

Loved Eeji's comment.

And yeah, I would split them up if i were you once they have mated, stops the female being stressed by the male when she becomes gravid. And stops unwanted matings (not good for her health to do it more than once a year.)

3ft, 300g, 3years is the general rule for when a female is ready to breed, the male can be a little smaller and a little younger than though.

Generally you want to wait until spring time, I think I introduced mine in February this year, as that is the natural time they would breed in the wild. Some people artificially create that time of year with lights and temps (search brumation)

And obviously start thinking about an incubator if they do breed, as the eggs will need to be kept separate and in the right conditions.

Hope that was somewhat helpful, good luck.

If you want them to breed then you can keep them together, then separate them when your female is showing signs of being gravid to reduce the stresses of constant male attention that could potentially lead to becoming eggbound (thats a worst case scenario, but it can and does happen). If you don't want to breed them then they should be separated permanently.

PMSL at Eeji's post!!!!!!

Not much to add really - just as above, make sure they are kept separate unless they have reached the appropriate size and weight.
