I don't have a picture of this so you'll have to use your imagination. A few months ago I got a female snow blizzard from someone unexpectedly. I was told she had been with a male jungle and was probably gravid. She laid a few eggs, all of which were obviously infertile (I had been told that the male was a juvi), so since she'd already been with me a few months I put my male normal in with her, hoping for speckled babies. The first few times he tried mating immediately and she rejected him so I removed him. Finally, at a time when she'd just laid an infertile egg and clearly was still ovulating, I introduced him and she accepted him. Since I keep my breeding groups together during the season, I put her in with him. He seemed to have needed to get that one breeding done because he hasn't particularly "bothered" her since and I often see them lying side by side on the warm side. This afternoon I went to check on them and they were lying side by side with her arm around him. Now I know that in reality they just happened to be together and this was just an accident but it was really cute. Maybe next time I'll have the camera available.
