Howdy all,
Could well possibly be the first time I have had a gravid reptile and seeking some general advice and tips on what to do from here on until she lays, again once I confirm she is gravid.
At present I have 7 Central Netted's who have co-habitated well now over recent months as my colony has grown from initially 3 to now 7. I have observed all the usual signs: arm waving, head bobbing and biting of the neck etc and given their mating is over in a blink of an eyelid I haven't been privy to any obvious mating.
Given I think 1, maybe 2 of the girls are gravid what would be the suggestions from here on. I have mixed up a tray of vermiculite and desert sand and placed it in an area of the enclosure so it will give them a chance to burrow and lay if necessary.
Just confirming would vermiculite and desert sand go ok together mixed with a % of water to create an adequate base?
I'm also none too sure of the time frame between becoming gravid and when I may expect her to lay.
As I said I am a novice to the breeding side and would appreciate any advice from dragon breeders or breeders in general who has experience as I'm a stickler for making sure I do things right to ensure success.
Cheers and thanks all.
