With the monitors we have recieved eggs every month of the year but that wasnt what my original post was about, it was about copulation, breeding behavior with fronts that come through here. I know you live in BFE in the desert with low or no precipitation but Im sure there still has to be fluxuation in barametric pressure, maybe suttle but it's there. When we have tornado warnings its every adult pair copulatiing or males trying to very heavy. I do know Rustin Hartigan [Dallas Zoo] told me there Prasinus are triggered by strong weather fronts that pass through in spring and fall. Yes breeding/copulation is a seperate issue then getting eggs. Yes, with the other post, extra food, heat is a good trigger for girls to take the risk and put out some eggs. We pull back on the food to stop our females from laying if we feel they need a break. The helodermas need not worry, one chance per year and that is it.So I guess the fronts or fluxuations in barametric pressure can act as a viagra on the males it would seem:}

Best Wishes, Bob
