Was wondering if others kept their Oedura catelnaui in 1.1 pairs or intermittently introuduced males to females after brumation ? Thanks

Right now I'm keeping my 4.4 Oedura castelnaui in pairs. I brumated them in the same pairs this last winter. A couple of the females are lookin' real gravid. I noticed one was doing a lot of digging in her nest box over the last several days.

Don't know whether I'd be better off just introducing the males evey once in awhile. Am hoping for more eggs during 2006 than the three fertile eggs I got last season.

I'd think it would be better to introduce them after brumation. The only reason I say this is because I've had experience with numerous reptile species that will not copulate with their cagemate at all, and when the cagemate was removed for a month or so, then returned, they go ahead and get it on. I think they get too used to the partner when they are together all the time, but when they are suddenly introduced under the right conditions, they go at it pretty fast thereafter. Just a little info from personal experience. I've experience this with geckos, as well as with ball pythons. Hope this helps a little. It makes sense to me though when you think about it.

Pairs in 12x12x12 setup...

I started cooling them together starting with temps at 67 and they started breeding and producing eggs...so now I have them at a basking spot of 100+ and the inside of the cage ranges from 70-100...

Danny, do you notice any aggression between females?

I have 1.2 housed together in a large cage, and one of the girls always seems to be away from the other pair.
