I think that would work. They may not produce this year. It's more of a
wait and see kind of thing. I've had them and replaced one after they
had been together 20 years (because one died) with no problem.

Chad,

Each of the pairs has been together for at least 2 years. I have had egg
production from both. I have paired up other so-called monogamous
animals before, with other mates, but I usually let the original animals
stay by themselves for a few weeks before I do a reintroduction. Do you
think a lengthy separation of at least a month should be OK or??????

Hi All,

I've 2 pairs of P. standingi. I would like to switch their respective
mates around as I have found out that one pair could be 1st cousins,
while the other pair is completely unrelated. All 4 of the animals have
grandparents and great-grandparents that were w/c.  Since I understand
that this taxon can be monogamous, do any of you foresee a problem if I
perform a switch to break up the possible "cousin" pair? All are
relatively young animals, the "cousins" pair were hatched in different
months in early 2003, and the other pair were hatched in different
months in late 2004. 

Best..

Jim
