Mangrove's likey each other:

Oxyrhopus Jul 12, 2007 04:06 AM

I noticed my long-term captive female ovulating a month ago.

As luck may have it, a week ago, a local place got in some wild caughts so I put in a male and saw nothing happen but really have not checked much.

The female went into shed and that was it.

I went to view them tonight at 4 AM and found them locked so I hope for some eggies soon enough. Seems the female shed and that might have been the trick? New moon also? Dang low pressure down here in south floida in as low as it can go so maybe that helped?
