Posted by: TOM_CRUTCHFIELD at Thu Aug 5 07:32:55 2010 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by TOM_CRUTCHFIELD ] Tiliqua nigrolutea hibernate the entire winter as they are a beautiful Montane species and one has to wonder that the lack of success in captive reproduction has a lot to do with the keeper afraid to let them get cold enough. Even when the Diamonds body temps are in the 40's they still are mobile enough to crawl into the sun to bask. The cold nights and the ability to heat up the next day I believe are crucial to captive reproduction and believe that's why many others fail. It is EASY to get them to breed but difficult to get fertile eggs. I've only done it now for 2 years but both years we had every female lay fertile clutches. I'm keeping records so in a few years I should have a lot of info about this common Python that little is known about their reproductive strategies...
