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



...and captive breeding programs!



Excellent points Dean!



The herpetoculturist community has access to a wealth of information if everyone would take the time to keep notes and share them. one of the questions that would be of interest to this group is whether multiple males and multiple matings increase fertility rates and fecundity in females. if this occurs in indigos as it does in so many other animal species, then this information would certainly change the way captive breeding is staged.
