Here is the baby Hoehnelli I produced. It was born 10/39/20.

Here's the possible Sire. Got them in early August but I know they can store sperm.

It was born 10/39/20.

Your months have more days than mine.
Seriously they look great.

Thanks. Only one from my first clutch that made it. Kept them in screen enclosures without any plastic wrap. Think it was too dry.

I use glass cages to get them started with very limited basking time. It's worked so far but I'm only one year in on this.

Thinking of doing something similar to this on my next batch

Good plan that is very much like what I do with my Tjj. The hoehnelii seem to tolerate each other better than the jack jacks do but I still separate them out at ~2 months.

Female came in gravid offspring not related to the male.

Thats what I figured given the time line. How long can they store sperm?

 

[bobcochran]

It's not storing sperm, Hoehnelii have a 5-6 month gestation period. They do store sperm, with ovoviperous species you'll get 2 clutches. Second clutch will have fewer fertile eggs, more slugs. Third clutch is pushing it.
