Unfortunately that is the biggest moral quandary with breeding. The uncertainty about where they go. It feels better when you do the regime yourself, but even then… Things happen.
My gals are around 12 now. I’ve had them since they were hatchlings at my old big box job. But working that job I took in and then rehomed at least 5 other leos from people.
I’ve had people tell me everything you want to hear. Full setup, has the temps and such right when you ask the numbers…and they still either messed up care or rehomed them somewhere else.
What you want to do is YOUR best. Which is making the decision to sell to a shop which has the quality of care and the knowledge you want to see. Or making sure who you personally talk to is meeting the same.
What happens after that isn’t what you should worry about, as much as we wish the best for our little guys.
Thank you Christina for your advice. It’s what I needed to hear. I have my girls separated from the male. I may just leave it alone and see what happens with the rest of the eggs. Then I’ll keep the babies unless I know someone personally who wants one. The breeding experience is very rewarding though….
