I sure hope so! I am a bit worried about my females though. They are all showing great color and the largest, even though she isn't colorful, looks like jewels when I take her out. Her scales glisten! But she is so fat! I can't get any of the animals in her viv to eat from the feeding tongs except for her. She doesn't need to be hand fed! So, I put plenty of feeders in the bowl for all of the animals and of course she pigs out. But then there will be enough for the others when she is done. Otherwise the rest are thin as rails and dark. So, with her being what I consider obese the others are very nice looking and showing great colors.

I doubt that she will breed being so fat and worry that if she did she would have problems with egg binding.

Any thoughs or insight on this?

By the way, I do have 2 vivs set up with armata. This group is the 1.3 and is the one with the 40watt bulb basking spot over the vines on the top corner. I don't see them using it much but then I am not home most of the day. I check and do my chores in the morning an check again in the evening.

The other viv does not have the basking spot and the animals don't seem to be eating nearly as much and are thinner and darker.
