I card mine when they are jarred. Really, you only need to card them if you want them to flare on demand. If you don't card them eventually they'll get used to their neighbours and stop flaring. I jar and card females as well as males. Females tend to stop flaring even when they're carded but carding them can keep it going a bit longer. If you don't care about them flaring (ie. not intending on showing them) then you don't need to card them.
