Hey Todd,

These were hibernated Nov 1 through the last week of Jan then paired on Feb 1. They went at it right away so this is almost exactly 2 mos from the first copulation.

Hey John,

Good luck with yours! I also bred the same axanth male with that hypo female. She's refusing him and looking chunky so I'm guessing she'll go relatively soon.

Gonna pair the axanths back up this weekend and try for a double clutch. The both laid and ate today. That's a good sign.

Thanks Josh for the good luck wish.....

I'm sure you know all this but.....
The main key to double clutching is feeding the female all she wants after she lays her first clutch.....A reintroduction of the male is not always needed but certainly would help.....

BTW....It looks like we have 15 of our 29 adult females gravid right now.....I don't know if all of them will go this year but I am hoping for at least 8 or so more of the remaining 14 will go......LOL

I hope we get fertile eggs....then we can think about some double clutching.......Fingers crossed.....

Congrats again...
