I bought Rico a mail-order-bride……he seems to be getting along with her VERY well (see pics). He’s getting along with her MUCH better than I anticipated. I wasn’t even positive Rico was a male~ but I was hoping if I got an adult female~ maybe by this time next year I would see some breeding from them. Well~ they got to the breeding part right away. SO~ now IF fertile eggs are produced ~ then what? I’ve tried to find information on incubation of Rudi eggs~ but what information I am finding is mostly for water monitors and is contradictory. The one constant seems to be that getting them to breed is the easy part (No kidding!) and if eggs are produced then retrieving them and incubation is the tricky part. I’ve read everything from 82F to 90F and anywhere from 2 months to 9 months incubation.

Any clues~ hints~ help on finding reliable information? Is it available anywhere or is it still a “try it and see” situation with Rudi’s?

Thanks for any help!
