How easy are these to breed? How big are clutch sizes, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Veileds are somewhat wasy to breed. When the female has robins egg blue dots on her body and caske, start introducing her every few days to the male. If she has the blue markings she should be receptive. Put the male in the females cage, and if she still has the blue markings they should mate. It will take as little as a few hours to a whole day. When the female has a very dark body and neon colored blue and tan dots, remove her immediatly. In bout 3 weeks, she should be presented with an egg laying container with potting soil in it. The container should be deep enough for her to dig a 7 to 10 inch tunnel. Once she lays, feed her dudted crickets or whatever food you might have, and also give her alot of water. She should not be disturbed. Remove the container, carefully dig them out and put themn in a plastic container which will be their incubator. Use perlite or vermiculite as substrate, keep them in temps from 70 to 80 degrees. The substrate should be mixed with water, in a ratio that i think is .4 partrs of watrer to every 1 part of substrate. They should hatch in about 6 months, check on em once a week, discard any obviously infertile eggs, also try not to have too wet of a substrate. This will cause mold to grow. Go to chameleonnews.com, they have a nice thing there on how to take care of eggs.

Good luck!
