>>Once the females are close to 5 feet you usually get 8 eggs. I have one larger female that has layed up to 12 eggs. The babies aren't especially delicate but I have found they do better, as far as starting to feed, if you keep them individually in larger than normal caging. I use slightly damp sphagnum moss about 2 inches deep as a substrate and also an inverted water bowl as a hide in a sweater box size sterilite rack. It takes about 5 years for them to reach breeding size but they live and reproduce well into their 20s. I have one female that layed 10 good eggs this year that has to be close to 28 years old.


That's really interesting. Have you kept moellendorffi that long...over 20 yrs?
