Well I was under the impression that they breed if you cycle them with a winter. Theres a Desert Lizards book with a chapter by Tim Tyle and it mentions what you need to do if you track it down.

Mine are breeding, but they are new and it's not likely do to anything I did.

Well there is still the bite when they mate. However before that the male comes up and gently rubs the females head with his snout. Temps for incubation are in the 80's I beleive. The lowest I saw was 82 I think the highest 88. I'd need to check the book though to be sure.

Well mine show climbing tendency. They are also somewhat active basking in the day. They each have there own hide. No they are not handlable in that you can grasp them. I have moved mine around by gently nudging them or allowing them to climb onto my hand and putting them in a deli cup.

Mine don'y but I've heard others will. You can't handle them in the usual since since the skin can break away.

I know a lot of people say it doesn't matter. I use a lot of lamps because I have heat problems in winter.

You could probably replicate the breeders setup.

Not that I'm aware of. They don't seem to need it according to people I've talked to and stuff I've read so far.

I was told they are one of the hardest to deal with WC. They are very cheap though.

Also, there's an old Vivarium magazine article about Teratoscincus. GOing to track it down today.
