My first clutch was on June 8. a really nice surprise. One of my holdback retics from 03 produced 7 eggs ! one infertile but still a small record breaker. one the 11. i had 2 clutches. 5 on a sister to the abowe and 4 on a very small cinctum. I aquired a small group of 03. The Where all quite small weighing 450 - 500 grams so I set the up together. I was surprised when they started mating, and seperated them immediately, as I found the too small. I was quite nervous when one was gravid. She laid the 4 but only one fertile.
I am almost religious conserning dates in my gila colony. Hibernation is from December 1. to March 1. Males are introduced on April 1. This scheme has worked very nicely. But I have nverhad egges this early. They usually start mid to late June !

I agree with my good friend Rolf. Let´s see that incubator Mark !

Cheers

Henrik
