Any of you Chuck guys have knowledge of Emerald swifts?

eve Dec 07, 2003 08:02 PM

A little off the chuck/ desert iggy topic. But I recently posted on general lizard forum, but received no answer. I know dvl has experience with yarrows, ect... small guys.

I have had Grinch a male emerald for about 2 years. This summer I purchased a female, Suess, she appears quite large.
They have live birth.(which is cool)

My question is, does any one know how long from the time they mate till they give birth?

Heres their pic. Grinch, the male is going to shed in pic, so hes not as vivid green as he usually is. Eve

Nice Spineys ( noy quite up to PAR when compared to my Yarrows or Blues--- but nice anyway LOL). Eve-- really have no idea as to the reprduction cycles of Emeralds. Here the Yarrows & Blues both breed in from Sept - Nov and give birth in May to early June. After using fingers on both hands-- I come to the conclusion that that is roughly 7 months ( considering most of the loving occurs in October ).

Later & Hope to see babies in 6 months ---- or was it seven? How about 6.5 or even 8 months--dunno-------- bye!

yeah it takes about 9 months. She has appeared pregnant (noticeably) since Sept. so quite awhile yet. Oh and I know my Suess the female is not as perrty as your yarrows or blues but Grinch when done shedding is gorgeous, he has a turquoise tail and beautiful blue and orange under his neck and blue tummy, so there. Johne told me the female was ugly ! I think she is cute ! Thanks again, Eve
