Those guys are not commonly bred at all.

They do seem to like it hot and dry so Tucson or Lizardville whould probably be ideal.

I've gotten eggs but no nesting as many keepers of this species/form experience. The eggs are typicaly the size of a Hermans egg which is huge for the size of the animal laying them and they typicaly lay more than one or two.

Do you keep them indoors or out and do you cycle temperature wise?

Nice.


>>Are they being imported any longer. The reason I ask is, two years ago, we acquired a trio a couple years ago. This week both females laid for us. We are incubating the eggs @ 86-87F, as per advice, any better advice?

>> There is a total of 7 large eggs(for their size)

>> My condolences to Jon Behlers family and all who knew him. I was fortunate to get to meet him. I am very sorry to hear of his passing, the herp world, lost a good one. FR
