The eggs are doing fine, i candled them and all are fertile so things are looking good. Sadly there wont be any caramels, i wish lol, they will be 50% het caramel so a little future project for me if they hatch.

to be honest i aint sure Laughing

I'm going to start a small night time drop in October for about 6 hours, and then in November increase it to about 10-12 hours, and start puting males in with females around then Smile

I'll start randomly like I did last year Embarassed

I have to say that overall I didn't follow any rules or procedures last season. I had the heat on 24hrs for a few days then no heat for a few days, lights on, lights off. The cycle was all over the place....no set pattern really.

The only thing I didn't have any control over was air pressures and humidity Wink

Overall YES there were lower temps during the cycle but nothing religous compared to many breeders.

Results
12 females over 2kg = 11 laid clutches
5 females 1200-1500 = 2 clutches laid

approx 100 eggs in total

Saying all that, I bet I have a rubbish season coming up Embarassed
