As I mentioned, one was nesting. So heres the eggs and a pic with her and her eggs. She laid them last night.







Here she is with her eggs, mind you, this is her fifth clutch, her first four clutches were six eggs. I must be doing something wrong as this clutch is only five perfect eggs. consider, thats 35 eggs that size from that little female. Hmmmmmm but what about calicum suppliments. hahahahahahahahaha sorry, this stuff makes me laugh.







To tie this with the war of books(academia) The books say this does not happen. A group of monitors, two males and five females. All working together as a group, all members helping with breeding and nesting(to recruit) And doing so in a smooth uninterrupted way. Consider, all five females have produced or about to produce the same amount of clutches. Then consider, this female is one of the larger ones, two are about half her size.



One must consider, these are outside, no lites 24/7 or anyother thing to distract the reader. They are in an enviorment much like they were designed for. And they are fed very sparsely. They are fed only crickets and a few pinkies. As you can see from the female and the others, no fat on any of them. In fact, they are slimmer then most wild individuals I have seen. But then, those wild ones were not in context. They were not at the end of their breeding season.



I hope this brings up a point of more context. When comparing animals, there is ALWAYS CONTEXT, apples to apples if you will. In the case of academics, they include no context, as they are not aware of it and cannot program it into formulas that have no place for the unknown. Cheers and enjoy
