Thanks for the reply. Yeah they are not 100% yet, but Im confident I can get them there. I am really happy with their progrees to this point, especially the female.
At what age can females be gravid? She is still young likely less than a year old. They were housed together at the pet store I found them at, but they were in absolutley terrible conditions. I dont see how they could have bred. I havent weighed her since she was at the vet, but she was only 29 grams at the time. She's alson only about 3-4 inchec SVL.
The male is a bit longer and heavier than her, but not by much. He is roughly 4-4 1/2 inches SVL, and weight 41 grams at the vet. That was about 2 weeks ago, though, and I'm postive they have both put on weight since then. I'll weigh them again soon, though.
I don't know for sure, but I agree that they are WC animals. She is kept in a 100 gallon repatarium, and he is in a 38g reptarium. I had him in there while he was really weak and sick at the beginning, but now he is really active and is all over the screen, so I need to get a larger enclosure ASAP. I do now have a vacant 175g repatarium that my veiled was in, but do you think that would be too large for him at this point? I would clean it thoroughly, of course before I put him in there.
I do supplement them 2X a week. Once with D3 calcium and once with non-d3 calcium. I plan on only giving them vitamins maybe once a month, as they are on a really well gutloaded diet. Thanks again for the response.
Josh
