Hello again-
Been crazy for a while: work, new baby boy, an ongoing lawsuit,snakes in the yard, etc...
My female egyptians were briefly introduced to their male roommates after repeated scratching at the glass and territorial displays were finally heeded by their keeper. It is funny to see how spring affects the behavior of these animals. Brumation was relatively unnoticed but breeding behavior was on in earnest.
Next season I do plan to video the whole process-from males territorial displays and dominance fighting to the actual copulation itself. Not sure how sucessful both encounters were, and one noticible bloodshed gave cause for alarm. The other interesting behavior is once the females are gravid they become incredibly aggressive toward any advancing male. Both females have picked out the "nest" and defend that against my checks for eggs with very deliberate bumping of my hand, open gaping of jaws and hissing. Gloves are a must.
I have been watching my one female dig up her caging for about 5 days now I go in everynight to replace the sand in the nesting chamber and make sure there is some moist sand still avail and that no eggs have been deposited.
I have 2 incubator set up with moistened perlite inside a clear rubbermaid box inside a 56 quart igloo filled with water,an aquarium heater set to 90F. Temps have been consisitent for a week.
Last year I tried a hovabator...I found that the temps fluctuated way too much and humidity was inconsisitent.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Good luck with yours.
will post again soon and get some new pictures
