Hey Guys, me and a friend are thinking about breeding our veilds and have already done a ton of reaserch on it. We just have a few questions that we cant find the awnsers to.

1) My female has just layed(infertile)her first ever clutch in the past week, she is still showing her receptive coloration(baby blue spots) and i was just wondering if she could accept the sperm from the male now? or do we have to wait?

2) Also is there any special requirements we have to simulate first? eg. Shorter/Longer photoperiod? Temperature boost/drop? or anything of that nature to get them "in the mood"?

Thanks, please post responses.

no u dont have to do any of those, yes u should wait a couple of weeks if she laid an infertile because laying is really tough on them and she might be tired and could possibly die. not to scare you or anything

Hey,
I'd suggest that you wait at least a month before attempting to breed her. If she's receptive, she'll let the male mount her. If not, she'll torn almost black & sway back & forth gaping at the male. If she does this, wait a few days & try again. The females can actually retain the sperm. They can lay more than one clutch from a single breeding.
Once bred, be sure to increase her calcium intake.

The males are always in the mood and don't need light or temp changes.
The female will let you know if receptive by her reaction to the male. If receptive she will get lighter colored when she sees him and will be docile. If not receptive she will hiss at him and sway and turn darker.
