My gilas are doing well! I paired the adults last year, and got infertile eggs. I did not pair them this year.
The two juveniles are growing well.

I need to finish my post about pairing gilas, and two species of beadeds in 2025 and how all of that went.

One of the biggest things I learned, was observe your animals, for years. You'll see the degrees of normal. The entire reason I paired the second species of beaded this year was from observing these incredible animals. A beaded I thought was male, swoll up like a female ovulating. I had a known male (he'd left evidence in his enclosure prior), so I took the chance putting them together, knowing they'd lock, fight or ignore each other. The possible male immediately went to the other..... and turns out is female 100% confirmed.
