March 2003

Our niles were caught copulating last night (Feb.18) with any luck we will have some more eggs to incubate.

Our veiled has succesfully laid her eggs. Now comes the hard part of digging them up. They are in here someplace.

Well we have removed a pitcher full of dirt. Yet we still have not managed to find the eggs. I think they are in here?????

Ok now we have switched to a bowl. As you can see it is full and still no eggs in sight. UGH!

YES !! Finaly after we have reached the bottom of the bucket.

Time to use my fingers and a small paint brush to remove the remaining dirt.

Here they are with all of their glory. Now to remove them and off to the incubator they go.

New arrivals:

Recently we have added a male cumingi , 2 female argus monitors, 2 mangrove monitors one of which has an orange head both were hand picked for me by my good friend Dan Turner at Tarpit reptiles, and some very rare kei island blue tongue skinks. These skinks were thought to be extinct and with the combined efforts from Dan Turner and I we hope to establish a nice breeding group of these wonderful bluetongues.
