I am the new guy...need Help about Keeping and Breeding!

kaouthiakeeper Apr 15, 2005 05:25 PM

Hey there,

I always wanted to get Gila Monsters and it took a lot of time to find the money but finally I am getting two adult Gila Monsters from a zoo stock. They were cooled down and they are ready for breeding!

But I never took care of Gilas before. I have experience with some Naja species, ball pythons, caimans and I bred leopard geckos but thats it.

The guy who is selling me the animals is helping a lot but I would also like to get some info from you guys.

What kinda setup works best with these guys? How long should I keep the male together with the female? When should I expect eggs and how should I care for them?

Every little bit of info will help.

Thanks in advance,
Ciga
