Hi, Someone can help me?
Three days ago my couple of uros are go out of brumation.
Now what can I do to reproduce them?
They have 8 years.
The temperature is F80(30°C) in the terrarium and under two spots is F130(46°C).
thanks a lot

The only thing you can do to try to reproduce them is brumate them which you already did. You cant really do much more than that. It would be smart to put in a nesting box, and give the female extra calcium. If you really want to breed them do research, so you know every apsect about it. Do you have an incubator, nesting box- which should have been in their during brumation so she feels confortable in there, separate cage if the female becomes agressive, cage for the hatchlings, etc. I am not sure if you did all the reseach or not, but if you didn't do all the research then you should do it before you try to breed them so you know what your getting yourself into. If you did all the research and you already have everything all you can do is keep giving the female extra calcium, and keep the nesting box / or pile slightly moist, and just wait. It takes 4-6 weeks after couplation for the female to lay eggs. make sure you trim the all the females nails so she doesn't puncture any of her eggs. In my experience you should incubate the eggs at 93-94 degrees F in vermiculite. But if you didn't do research yet about breeding, please do so, so you will know what to do when you get eggs.
