Found 2 eggs in sweat box. Burger was thin the day we found the eggs, so I am guessing that these are hers. The eggs were quite dry, one indented, and one almost flat. We are guessing that they were laid on 10/10/99 in the evening. I had not been checking the sweat box for eggs yet as it seemed too early in the season. The sweat box was pretty dry as the weather was still warm, and it was drying the sweat box out quickly.

I noticed Gex (male) wrapped around Gomez (female) as I was showing these to visitors. After touching Gex, he moved away from Gomez, and had been obviously mating with her. The reproductive organ was visible and bright red. I wish I had a camera, as this I feel was a once in a lifetime opportunity to get a picture of this.

No eggs since 10/12. Rearranged the tanks for the babies and adults, adding larger sweat boxes, and more sand.

I moved the 4 babies into 1 tank, and checked the sexes. It is possible that we have 1 male and 3 females. We are still looking and checking. At this size (4"-5") it is still hard to see. And they will not hold still long enough for a magnifying glass.

I saw Gomez digging at the sand, trying to push it into the sweat box. I checked the sweat box and saw only 1 egg. Gomez was still fat, so I closed the sweat box and watched her for a while. Both of the other females had left the sweat box, and Gex (male) was still in there. It seemed to me that he was trying to help her. He was licking her and nuzzling her, and she would rest her head on him.
after a while, I left them alone, returning 20 minutes later, and checked the sweat box, there were 2 eggs. I removed them and placed them in the incubator. We now wait and see if this clutch will hatch as this is her first breeding.

Sticky laid 2 eggs today, I was watching her bury them.

After watching Burger for the last 2 - 3 weeks, I do not think that the first clutch of eggs we found were hers, we think that they were Gomez's as she laid a 2nd clutch 16 days later. I will be taking Burger to a friends home, and putting her with that male, to try to get her mated. it does not look like Gex will mate with her.

The baby came through, it is living and all, we will have pictures soon. We checked on the baby at 9:00, 9:15, and 10:00 PM. It looked as if nothing was going to   happen, and perhaps the baby was not going to make it, the next morning, there it was. as healthy as could be.

Last night, we found 4 eggs in with our 1 year old babies form last year. Yes, that's right we have started breeding them also. here is how the tanks are set up, and what has been happening over the last 2 - 3 weeks

We  moved Berger, Gomez, and sticky out of the tank, we noticed some fighting among the females, so we separated them. We took the 4 females, from our last years breeding, and put them with Gex, (their father). We have heard that inbreeding with the parents isn't bad, as long as you do not let generation after generation do it, so this one time wont hurt anything.

We traded a striped baby, one of Gomez's babies, for a large, 2 year old adult male. We put Him in with the 4 females from last year, and moved Gex back in with Berger, sticky and Gomez.

Last night, we found 4 eggs from last years babies. we are expecting many more.

on January 25th, we found 2 eggs from Gomez.

At this point, we have eggs from the following laying dates.

Any other eggs had gone bad.

Since January, not much really happened. We lost many eggs this year. We believe the reason to be that the Temp in the incubator was not correct. (my now 19 month old son, liked to play with it)  The last egg that we found hatched in March, and is doing well. We will be keeping this one, and putting it with one of our sets. It is the child of Nobby, so we will put her with Gex.

Berger has a strange bump on her head, and has had it for about 3 months now. It is hard and rather large, we have tried Neosporin on it to see if it was just from a injury, and that hasn't worked. our next step is to take her to the vet. We have a great vet that specializes in reptiles here in town. 

This is our set up right now for our friends.

When Berger's bump is gone, and the baby is about 8 months old, this is the set up we will have.

We will also hopefully have another female at that time. We are looking for one to rescue or to purchase from a private party that no longer wants it. This 6th female will go in with Nobby.
