  • To strip or not to strip

    So my "pink face" Geos decided to do the deed yesterday and Im trying to decide whether I should strip them or not. They are in a community setting with 12 medium to large size Geos.

    if its their first time i would say let her hold to term just for practice. if not and you want to save all the babies but dont think theres enough hiding spots then strip. just my $0.02

      DONT strip them. let them hold, they wont hold to term i can almost guarantee you but if they do, they will spit them in 2-3 weeks and then suck them back in their mouth. then you can strip them.

                  thats was quick, isolate whichever one is holding and strip them if they didnt swallow them. congrats man.
