So a guy that has been one of my dubia customers asked me if I would be interested in having my male citrus leather back pair up with his female leather back. Now, I had been wanting to breed him for a while now but I just don't have the space for another enclosure, so this actually sounds like a good idea. However, I'm not one to jump into something without feeling 100% comfortable, and never actually considered going down this route. It just kind of presented itself.
I know this guy loves and cares for his reptiles really well, so I would feel safe knowing he would take care of them. He's bred them before too and pretty much is in the middle of starting his own line. I just want to know some tips and warnings before I go ahead and agree to this, as well as seeing if I should charge anything for letting him use my male? I don't want to come across greedy or rude, but I've read that's what most people do... is charge a stud fee or ask for the best pick of the clutch. I can't get another beardie though, so I'd mainly be looking at the fee.
And last... what precautions should I take before letting him breed? I was going to get him tested for parasites and request the same for the female to make sure they're both in good health before anything. Are there any other things I should consider or know?
