Hey everyone 
I have been slacking and there is so much good news here! Eve, congrats on your 8 babies, how exciting that must be. You are my hero, you take care of so many. Do you have human children too? I wonder how you manage it all.
Vonnie, I think of your egg every day and hope you hatch out a beautiful little girl. (But we would love a boy, too!) I remember my eggs dimpled in several places soon before they hatched. I freaked and thought I was losing them, but I thnk that is a sign that they are about ready.
Amanda, you are really special. I have a good feeling about your lizards. They are going to get better because you are such a good and caring mommie.
Moko, I am glad to hear you are finding great ways to cope. I have found since I went from 3 to 5 lizards that they don't get enough handling from me, especially because I favor Otis.
So.......I have decided I am going to give Hermes and probably one of my girls to my friend Ric. He is still heartbroken over the loss of his pair. And his daughters have learned a tough lesson they won't repeat. They cried for days, especially the one who forgot them outside. I won't be able to keep 2 males forever anyway. I will brumate Otis and Saige and keep Fawn and the babies awake to play with. After the adults are awake and ok, I'll downsize back to 3 and have more babies!
They have been in their new terrarium for over a week now. The girls loved it right off, but Otis had some anxiety over the move. He didn't eat for a few days and started bobbing his head a whole lot. He is much better now, all settled in, and has even grown back some of his claws.
The terrarium Sam built is great, and they have 4 feet of unobstructed area in the front to run. I don't have a lot of rocks in it, ever mindful of Vonnie's loss. They can climb on the walls and get on the built-in basking shelves, so maybe they don't need a pile of rocks.
Sam has been putting the babies in with the big guys after they have eaten, and has even let them spend a couple of nights in there. I take them out because it makes me nervous! The adults mostly ignore them. Hermes is too big to eat, but Cadence could be a little bigger. The big ones just trounce over the babies like they are not there and I am afraid that will cause an injury. And it is hard for the babies to hunt in the big cage. Cadence is still a bit clumsy and misses about half of her pounces. So I think the babes will stay in their little place another month or so.
I have posted 2 pages of photos of the terrarium and it's construction at: http://vrk.photosite.com/terrarium/
They are all coming out very yellowish and I will be looking for a red filter for my camera to get better photos. I hope you all have a great weekend, and thanks for being here!

But in order for breeding, the adults need a shallow container of damp soil, about 2-3 inches the females will go in there and lay eggs in the soil. The eggs will be under there and grow, they will look like small pieces of rice. Must be heated.
