Pairings
First
Pairing
7/14/04
As of now, I have one
pair breeding. This pairing consists of a
Sorong "Type" female named Blue Star. The
male is a designer type named Crumb. The
female was captive born from Central Coast
Reptiles and the male was captive born from
Buddy Goetzger of Arboreal Adventures.
Copulations were
recorded on 7/15 and have been observed off
and on.
8/14/04
The female refused food
for the first time and no other copulations
have been observed. The male will be staying
with her for a few more weeks to see if
anything develops.
11/02/04
Currently the female is
off feed and spending day and night in the
nest box. Although follicle development and
ovulation were not seen, I am still fairly
confident she is gravid. There has been a
significant change in her temperament and
behavior which leads me to believe she is in
fact gravid. If she is indeed gravid, I will
be expecting eggs no later than 11/08/04.
Her pre-lay shed was on 10/18/04.
11/05/04
I woke up to a bunch of
pearly white eggs! They looked great and
hope to see them hatching on day 49, which
ironically falls on Christmas day.
12/24/05
The first egg hatched
and a small yellow hatchling emerged. I
manually pipped the remaining eggs and all
but one hatched by the 26th. I am currently
in the feeding trials with the babies, and
as of today, 1/17/05, 6 of the 11 babies
have eaten.
