anyone breeding sengels?

[OntarioLizardman]

hey guys! does any one here breed senegals? or know of anyone who does? thanks!

Nope.

I was planning to make that a project last year but never found a male that I liked and then lost my female.
Not an easy species to breed and the market value is low.
I would still like to tackle the challenge some day.

Here is a link to an article by Kristina on the e-zine:

lol! and i just read that before i started this thread . but thanks! did you journal your expierences with sengels?

There wasn't much to write about.
I only had one female and she was not even around for a year.
Her actual cause of death was undetermined.
She tried to burrow and lay eggs, but senegals don't generally cycle eggs without being mated.
My suspicion is that she had some kind of tumor that felt like eggs to her which triggered this behavior.
She was between 3 and 4 years old LTC originally from Trace, sent here by Kent who cared for her for awhile as well.
When (if) I try again, I would like to assemble a trio and then I would get pretty serious about taking some notes.
