They are here!!! Today I had a day off and decided to sleep in. I wish I didn't. When I got up at about 12ish I found three baby prasina's in the enclosure!! I missed the labour which probably took place in the early morning, for the placenta was still wettish. I made some pics to show you all, enjoy them.

like I found them this morning. Very unexpected because I thought she would have delivered around the 27th.

The young are brown with a pinkish hue over the head and belly. They should become green after 6months of age.



Some facts:

Mating took place on the 27th of januari
no basking was observed
female keeps eating until one to two weeks before labour
female does not shed during pregnancy
3 healthy large brown young born on the 7th of juli.
approximately 160 days between mating and labour.
Average temperature during this period 28C
humidity 50-60% (on the low side)
