We're right at 70 days out from bringing our San Diegos out of brumation. Our female first shed some time in the week of March 8th. I've noticed a lot of variation here on the forums - some people's pits just bred a few weeks ago, and some people's pits are already getting ready to lay eggs.



I haven't noticed any obvious breeding behavior in them, but our male stopped eating three weeks ago. Female is eating good. She looks like she's about ready to have her second shed this year.



Where do you guys think we are? Have you ever had pits breed after their second shed, rather than their first? Or do you think, unless they bred already without me noticing it, I've got no such luck this year? I will keep my eyes out though - I know the pre-lay shed is usually about 2 weeks before laying if she is gravid.
