Well, I've had a 2.8 group of leos since March of 08(one of the males has since died after getting him back from a breeding loan:() and decided to finally try breeding them myself. I was having a hard time verifying ovulation, but I chose a Tremper 100% het Blizzard that I thought was and introduce her to my Blizzard 100% het Tremper's enclosure. He immediately started tail wagging and began to bite her. Well, I guess she wasn't ovulating or was in a bad mood cause she flipped out on him and went full attack mode:stunned:. Separated them and decided to try another one. This time was her roommate Tremper 100% het patternless. :D She was receptive! I'm excited cause thats the first tiime I've ever witnessed a lizard breeding! I've harem bred uromastyx but never saw the deed done, and have bred several corn snakes, but this was a new experience. Anyway just thought I'd post on here cause no one i know would even care. I'll reintroduce them another time or two and post back if I'm lucky enough for her to lay for me.

Good luck! My incubator is already running and has 2 eggs in it from my breeder loan mack snow that died. Hope all goes well and that I beat the odds to replace him.

She still hasn't let go of those eggs! I paired the male with a second female (Gem Snow het Tremper) and she layed 3 days ago. I'm using sphagnum moss in her lay box, do you think she wants something else? Before you ask, she is definately gravid from the original mating on the 4th. She is huge and I've been seeing eggs since around the 10th.
