My season thus far

[Derek Roddy]

Hey everyone,

Been seeing a lot of swelling, breeding and, inversions that I'd thought I'd share with you all.

Carpets are looking very swollen at the moment.

This pair just will not stop breeding. They've been at it for several days now. The picture is through the glass.....didn't want to disturb them.

What temps are these two in right now? How many hours of daylight?

[Derek Roddy]

They're at 86-90 during the daytime.....low80's high 70's at night. We're already having days in the high 80s down here.

This picture was taken 2 days before she ovulated....which was yesterday.

Light cycle here now.....about a full 12 hours. Will reach 14 during mid summer.

Cheers brotha,

[Terranaut]

Thank you!!! We have one more week of cold here then it should break and get this icy crap out of here. I am still having trouble getting my jag to do the deed. I won't be upset if he doesn't this season but he better next year if he doesn't ;) I think I may turn my room ambient temp down a couple degrees to see if the enclosure will cool at bit faster at night.

[Derek Roddy]

I let my animals get into the low 60s high 50s during the winter....but, it's not but a couple weeks total and, they always have a basking area during the day to warm up if needed.

Wonder why you male Jag is passive? I haven't ever really had an issue with male carpets but, then again......I've only produced a few Jag clutches. The mutations can be a little more sensitive to issues like these.

Good luck,

D
