Got home today to this. The pictures are not very clear but they are definitely at it.... hahaha. They have been locked up for about an hour now to my knowledge. Does any one know the approximate time between copulation and egg laying in v.panoptes and the average clutch size?
Cheers
Rick

hi rick
from reading an article in reptiles magazine, july issue written by jim alles and andrew charlson
the female usually lays 30 - 35 days after successful copulation, clutch size betwen four and nine eggs though fourten hs been witnessed,
incubate at 84 - 86f incubation lasts between 180 - 214 days, eggs start to sink when near hatching,
thats the short version lol
