My kingorum are almost exactly a year old and finally laid their first eggs last night, only a clutch of two (one was infertile). They are from a leucistic to het breeding, so that makes the baby a 75% of being leucistic of at worst 100% het.

The other females may also be gravid Very Happy

Here's a pic of daddy, I've blackened the background as there was a UV light behind it making it hard to look at.

Thanks, these monitors are great, just like little wall lizards with attitude Laughing

I will be refurbishing all my monitor vivs soon, gonna put rocky backs and sides in each, hopefully that will add another dimension to their environment.

Congratulations. Good luck with incubation.

For a cheap alternative to a "rocky background" how about lining the walls with cork tiles? Work for my Ackie.
