Just a quick post as I have to go out and let my friends dogs out for a wee, but I've just found new-born baby rudis in the viv!! I am SO excited. 7 live ( 1 looks a bit weak), 1 stillborn and 1 died after climbing to the top of a plant. Mum is looking like a deflated balloon but has drunk and...

Hi all I am a bit puzzled about my baby yemens and was loking for some input. I had a clutch of 38 eggs laid on 8/9/09 (sorry 9/8/09 for you yanks :) ). 2 went mouldy a couple of months into incubation, but all the rest hatched over a period of about 4 weeks from 28th april to 4 days ago...

Hi all! Anyone know the gravid, or even receptive, colours a female rudis/sternfeldii might show? One of my pairs have been sat very close to each, the male quite coloured up quite a bit. (Which is unusual for him, he's a lazy git) The female was very patterned (lots of diamonds etc), but...

I know you guys like pics, and this girl was obviously in a right mood the other day so I thought I'd share!

My female yemen Jemima was mated exactly 28 days ago today. I went home at lunchtime and had a quick peek into her viv (it's been covered by a sheet for the last week to give her privacy), and could just see her back half sticking out of the hole she's digging. She's been looking grumpy and...

My little girl Yemen is growing up - a year old now. No signs as yet of receptive colours, but I am now happy enough with her size to consider breeding her when she does. The question I can't find an answer to is - do I put him in with her, or her in with him?? She is marginally easier to...

From my local reptile shop - and I nearly missed them, as they were in a tank next to the inverts so I didn't bother to look in it. Fortunately the guys there know my tastes and pointed them out to me!

Hi there Just after some advise about tempature gradients in a flexi. My adult male is in a wood/mesh viv roughly the same size as a 100gallon flexi, and i'm happy with his temperature distribution in there. Now, today I've moved my 7 month old female into a 100 gallon flexi from her...

HI all My new baby female veiled is coming up 5 months old, and I'm thinking about getting a laying site in for her, just in case. (I'm keeping her temps down and food intake regulated so hopefully she shouldn't ovulate, but I'm a bit paranoid about the whole thing). Trouble is, most of the...

Just setting up a new viv for my new baby yemen, and was checking the temps overnight. Last night dropped to 58'F - is that too low for her? My adult male has a heat cable in his viv that just keeps his temps up to 60ish overnight (we used to live in a MUCH colder house!), so I'm a little...
