howmany vivariums will i need to bread bearded dragons, leapard gekos, royal pythons, carpet pythons, corn snake, rat snake,sand snake,californien king snake and turtles plese tell

Answers:

Ok, kings need one per snake, rats, sands, corns, pythons, geckos and beardies can be kept in the same tank as their opposite sex.

Beardies should be one male to up to three females. Leopards are OK either way. Balls can be kept together, sexes separated for cooling and male introduced to females. Carpets are the same.

Turtles can be kept together. Sands can be kept together but when your female becomes gravid she should be kept by herself.

Your colurbrids can all be kept together, sexes separated in cooling and then males introduced to females. Kings are the exception because of the possibility of them eating each other.

While mating all pairs can be kept together until the female pushes the male away in mating attempts. That means she may be gravid and she needs her own tank. Kings must be watched to make sure mating doesn't turn into eating.

So there you go, you didn't give me a number so I couldn't give you a good strong number. Anything else just let me know.

well you'll need one habitat for each species and then you'll need incubation chambers for each species due to the fact that each species has a very different climate that they come from. My red eared sliders have succesfully bread and hatched there eggs in the same tank they live in with no interuption from me. So you'll basically need one tank and incubation chamber for each species so if your looking to mate 10 different species you'll need 20 enclosures
