Good data relevant to indigo breeding / eggs can really be helpful to field studies and, ultimately, conservation.



This year...I would really appreciate anyone who would be willing to record and share the following information about their breeding couperi:



- Size and age of both "parents"

- Date of first copulation

- Approx total # of copluations and # of males used

- Date eggs are laid

- Number of eggs and, (when known) number fertile vs slugs

- Sizes of eggs when laid (in cm if possible)

- Weights of eggs when laid (in grams if possible)

- Weights of eggs when babies first pipping

- lengths and weights of newborns.



If anyone is willing to record this data, I will be sure it gets to interested parties doing field reseach in GA and FL.



Please contact me if you think you can help at:

THANKS
