No eggs yet but two are definitely gravid.
A third female has yet to copulate, I don't think she will but I will keep trying until July.

My alligator lizards - haven't seen them copulate, but I was gone for a few days (easter) after introduction.

My lavender's eyes look like they are beginning to cloud - first copulation was on 3/20, second on 3/26, third - she initially resisted but gave in on 4/4

I think I need to make her a nesting box

I don't bring mine out of brumation until March...so most are breeding right now...some still have to breed.

If you do the mendota/davis hyper pairing and are succesful, I want to see what the clutch looks like

The female Mendota that is going to breed the male Davis just shed today....and I just separated the male Davis from the female Davis today. I also bred a solid Chocolate male to a female Mendota.

Expecting eggs any day now. My Florida shed last week, and I've set up her nest box. About one minute after closing up her cage after placing her nest box, she had crawled into it and made herself comfortable.

I put mine together, in both cases the males were all for it, but the females wanted nothing to do with it. I'm waiting till next shed (which are due soon) to try again.

First try with the Florida Kings........
