AGH breeding predicament

dmlove Aug 28, 2004 06:37 PM

I have 4 easterns in a spacious outdoor enclosure, i saw 2 breeding last year, around sept i geuss. They got out of hibernation in late april and in mid may the ground hardened up so it was really hard to dig and has been like that till now, and still is like that (weird temps here). They live outdoor yearround (live where native easterns live). Would she have layed them yet and i didnt notice it, or did she retain them, or not have them at all? I know they bred, i hjave pictures to prove. Sorry bout a short post, i had a really detailed one but accidentally deleted it...rrg..lol.

Let me know
Thanks

David

She may well have layed the eggs without you're having noticed. We're in central VA, and ours lay eggs in parts of the enclosure where the soil is the hardest clay. They seem to prefer harder soil. Also, they can conceal the nest really well when the ground is dry. My personal observation has been that they leave a little more evidence if the ground is moist.
