Fantastic babies!

Have you had problems with female when she laid?

 

[Eszzie]

The female was perfectly fine, she laid her eggs without problems and shortly after that she was actually going after the male to mate! Her weight was good and she wasn't really weakened or anything, everything went well.

(Sorry Tom, to answer before your turn hihi)

 

[CNorton]

Truly an amazing species and what a great accomplishment!

 

[BelgiumLizard]

Thank you all!

@Bosco, I notice when the groundtemperature is around 16.5°C(Infrared thermometer)the female just lay her eggs, is it below the 16°C she start digging and digging for days. So I think it is important that the soil is around 16.5°C and also wet from misting and not mud.

Best regards,
Tom

Great work Tom ! It seems as if there's a chance that we can establish a stable CB population in Europe !

Hi,

my female laid her eggs during her first digging. But i didnt look fo the temperature. But it is not so cool at the moment so it is defenetly not under 16,5°C.
My female also doesnt had any problems yet after laying. she lost 5g after laying eggs.
