Man oh man it's been a very good start just 4 weeks out of brumation!



In total we've had several breedings of each noted below, beginning with most recent. Unfortunatly i haven't been able to catch all of them "in the act", but evidence of copulation was certainly a good-enough parting gift:





SANTA ANA zonata pulchra:



















BLACK & WHITE (anery) x hetero zonata multicincta:



pair 1:









pair 2:













Santa Cruz zonata multifasciata:

















Juarez zonata agalma:





















Bass Lake zonata multicincta:























San Jacinto parvirubra:

















Napa County zonata zonata:























Hopefully there may be several more localities of ssp that may (or may not) go this year. Cool temps, lotsa food, and patience......
