The majority of the females do not just produce a clutch of eggs without mating, though it can occur. Mostly if they develop a clutch without mating, it is because of stress. Re- arranging, Re allocating the enclosure, or the visibility of a male in the neighbourhood. Also it happens mostly (if...

i am not in favor of letting them grow slow, any growth they miss will never totally made up in the length they can reach. For me it has been the slow growers in fact that stay behind, eat less as they should do and develop mdb. one thing people tend to forget if you keep them to cold (absolute...

Parsons have around 1 micro-watts per square cm in the wild and Campani will have 100 to maybe even 200. I have had 100 for my minors at the basking site. a lot depends on the species....

They amazingly look like F.Minor as well. White lips, 2 blue dots on the females body and even the Y/U shaped bars just after the head. Somehow i would expect these 2 species to be closely related.

I fully agree with the initial statement(s). It is important to have multiple males/females of one species to increase chances of succes. Working with wild caughts, to my own opinion it is important to shower them a lot when acquired, preventive threat them for flagellates and worms in that...

I don't think he has a reason to be jealous, should be vice versa. He has got two of them, you only one :D

My females multituberculata never had so big horns as this one on the photo, neither as large as the female horns shown in the article of the link provided. Actually they looked more like the vosseleri females mentioned in the article. When shippments arrived here in the netherlands between...

Hi Happy, I have a clutch of campani eggs, being scattered on the cage floor 2 weeks ago. 15 in total, very small (estimate 6mm), and also orange coloured. First thought i had, that they were all bad. Now 2 weeks later, only 2 eggs have gone bad, and shrinked inside, the other 13 eggs are...

nice idea, i'll go look for something like that overhere, in what kind of store did you find them? normally i incubate my diapause in the same fridge as were my own food is, regulator set on "1" gives 8 degrees celcius, which is ok for minor, lateralis etc... for panthers it will kill the...

I am working now with this species from 2007 onwards, with steadily increasing succes, and breeded 27 last year. My group at the moment is 5.7 I started this topic to come into contact with other people from europe, to see or we can exchange bloodlines in time. So if you have it would be...

i had mine on 54 some at 58 and some at 63, and all went bad, though i dont think the temperature was the root cause in my case. The coldest ones in my case took longer to go bad. From what i know sofar best clutches with youngsters happened with diapause at 58. What kind of substrate...

Hi Chuck, Can you share the temperatures you used, for which spoiled and which not? Thanks, Mario

Hi Chuck, How are your eggs doing? I have only 1 egg remaining... its hard incubating them, especially the first 2 months.... Mario

Good luck! I had 2 clutches this winter, but only 5 eggs remaining :-( Incubation is really hard. Which substrates are you using? humidity, temps? Kind regards, Mario

Hi Sang, Thanks for the idea of blowing air over them, I'll try that out on a part of the next clutch if my 3rd is going to lay, Expect that somewhere in January, but i am not sure yet she has eggs inside. Kind regards, Mario

@Morpheon The majority i will incubate with a diapause temperature of 13-14 degrees, i have understood that the results are better then with 17-18. I also am doing a few at 8 degrees just to test, since my frigidair works on that and gave good results for the Minors. @Kinyonga Can you give...

I am from The Netherlands, though a few generations ago i had a grant parent from Italy from my mothers roots. I have some pics, but are on my other PC not connected to the internet in my other house. I'll post them later.

I wasn't allowed yet to post in the Parsonii part since i am pretty new here, so that why i do it here. I read in that part, that people might not want to share data, i thinks thats not the case, there actually are only a few breeders, thats just why theres not much info, but certainly there...

This link contains a male photo within 24 hours after hatching, as you can see they get born very strong. http://img708.imageshack.us/i/114nu.jpg/ Need to look for more but do not have them all online. They get hatched brown, then after a few days get green. Females a day old when they get...
