Great news! I modified my viv a bit the last couple of days. I had a great piece of fiberglass with rock sculped on it that was about 18" wide. I had my hubby cut it down the center so I have 2 rock walls about 30" long and 9" tall now.

I put this diagonally in one corner of my armata viv and filled in with substrate behind this. Now instead of having to fill the whole viv 6-8" deep I have about 3-4" in the main area and then the rock wall which will be easy for them to climb with about 8" of soil behind it. It makes for a pretty large area. I know they were climbing as I found feces on the high ground this morning and I only put this in last night!

Then this morning I lowered the bulb so that it is above a lower section of the vines and branches and closer to the substrate on the high side. I haven't taken any temperature readings yet but figure none of my girls are that close to laying yet if they are gravid. Of course I have had other dragons take me by surprise!

Anyway, I appreciate you sharing your temps as this gives me something to play with. I would really like to see these reproduce!

By the way, now I'll be waiting to see pics of the baby armata!
