True. Farming is usually done with higher clutching animals. I find it strange that sulcattas aren't bred in such a fashion in Africa, though I've heard the animal is facing great decline in the wild. With regard to the Russians, I suppose some wholesalers could be inducing laying among their new arrivals. However, I can't see this happening on such a massive scale. Also, many of the animals coming in recently are tiny. I've never seen a Russian lay eggs, induced or otherwise, that wasn't at least eighteen centimeters.
