Has anyone seen any from their Drys??? I know it's early yet.

I placed 2.2 of my YT cribos together a couple of weeks ago and observed copulation. The BT and Uni pairs will be introduced next month, while I will wait until mid Nov to introduce my couperi, erebennus and rubidus pairs.

Best regards,

Jeff

Cool!

good timing bob! my yt's were breeding earlier this week & this morning just before first light on each occasion. funny thing, my uni's never breed at that time of day, ever!! they seem to be more into matinee's w/ courting/chasing always occurring in the mid to fading afternoon......dth's here [philly] are quite warm still w/ ntl's only in the mid 70's but that'll change soon. apparently they couldn't wait. :>]

Awesome Dan. I'm going to put a pair together this week. I hope the male doesn't hurt/kill my female!
Good luck to all!

I typically wait until November to begin introductions (to more closely follow their natural breeding cycles in the S.E. U.S.). Once we begin getting the nice autumn breezes coming through (usually by October), I just open the windows wide open and that usually gets the indigos in the proper "mood". At that point, its time to party.

Here in sunny Southern Calif (San Diego) our Sept months are peppered with 80 and 90 degree days. OCTOBER it drops down to a FRIGID 72-75(Nail biting cold) but an occasional 88 degree day spikes. While the rest of the nation is snowed in with a white christmas, we are sun tanning at the beach. And we PAY for it(San Diegos housing market is INSANE...dont even bother unless you can afford $450,000k )

No...boy and girls, it isnt until DECEMBER that I find any degree of sucess temperature wise, in which to breed Easterns. Usually during gusty rainy season. But keep in mind that our December isnt always cold...a few years back it was about 89 at Christmas!!

So..I open the windows wide, while its cold and gusting and that seems to do the trick. Of course my pitt bull sleeps next to the Easterns, just in case an intruder enters. A midnight snack for "Buddah"

well apparently it isn't too early for yt's, they were locked up again this morning. and fred, thanks for the socal real estate/climate lecture. it gets more 'elaborate' every year........

Next year, in your honor, Ill present "Flow Charts" and "Graphs" to illuminate it even more. Glad to help.

Sincerely,

Fred Albury

YT's generally begin mating around mid August and finish up in early September, which could help explain why gravid females have managed to be imported into the U.S. during the months of Octobe and November.

Is that one of Don Bordners beauties?

Sure is, back in '03 when he was only a few months old.
He's now just over 7' at two years of age and his colors have intensified, continue to do so with each shed too. I have already observed copulation between he and a female produced in Germany by Jurgen Schulz-Stoppel, so I hope to be fortunate enough to have a clutch from these guys next year.
Good to the the "Wall" is back!

Best regards,

Jeff
