Yes, thats far from being rocket science. I breed them every year. They are more prolific than you want.

Well I would need a copy in English. I have a male I got from bert about 3 weeks ago. He is doing great. Im thinking of trying my hand at breeding nexit year . Do you keep yours indoors? And do they go off food like tegus do on there own? Thanks Russ

I keep them indoors. The adults live in a 1,9 x 1,6 meter tank without lid and with external hide boxes. They are voracious feeders and you have to take care not to overfeed them.
For lighting I use metal halides which do give like 100 000 lux at the basking spot.
For breeding I do recommend hibernation.
Best regards
